IGSD organised its first of the NEXUS series event: an immersive and thought-provoking world cafe session designed to challenge and reimagine the way we produce and share climate knowledge. It brought together researchers and thinkers from across and beyond Warwick, including our international guests Prof. Harini Nagendra, Director School for Climate Change and Sustainability, and Justine Marchant, Soka Gakkai International UK. The event was followed by an exhibition 'the Seeds of Hope' at 16.30 and a writing session at 18.00 at the FAB.

Our special thanks go to Emellyne and Hita for organising the event, and the Sustainability Spotlight, for supporting it.

Professor Korosteleva was invited by the COE Secretariat to speak at the PACE COE conference 'Luxembourg Solutions' on the future of Belarus. The focus of this session was to develop recommendations based on the report produced by Paul Galles (Luxemburg Epp/CD) in 2023, which resolution was adopted by the PACE in 2024. This report and its discussions should lay foundations for the actions by the COE member states - national parliaments - in relation to Belarus, including on the issues of visa and consular protection; political prisoners and refugees; identity preservation, education and employment access for the displaced Belarusians residing in Europe.
