Between 30 March – 5 April 2025, over 21 next-generation climate leaders from eight countries (and 13 nationalities), will attend Warwick’s pioneering Sustainability Training Academy in Venice. Launched in 2023 by the Institute of Global Sustainable Development (IGSD), and supported by the COP29 Scientific Council, the Sustainability Training Academy equips early career researchers (ECRs) with the interdisciplinary analytical, methodological, and practical skills needed to address the systemic challenges of climate change, climate justice and climate transition.

Professor Elena Korosteleva was invited to give a talk on 'Why we should think 'Resilience' when we talk about Green Transitions?' to the CAPTURED project organised by Warwick's Policy Lab. Elena focused on understanding the Anthropocene through the lens of a VUCA-world and complexity-thinking, and why we need to understand resilience as a way of living, relating, and managing complex life. Green transitions - whichever ways we think of them - will not happen if we 1) don't have a holistic approach; 2) don't change our thinking & behaviour; and 3) don't facilitate agential change, through nurturing resilience as political agency.

Professor Korosteleva was invited by the Ambassador of Uzbekistan, H.E. Mr Ravshan Usmanov, to join the celebration of Naruz in London, on 22 February 2025. The event was organised by the UCL Uzbek and Kazakh Societies and the Central Asian Youth Alliance, held at Gordon Square, London, and hosted students, staff and dignitaries from Central Asia. Elena was delighted to find Warwick's students there too, represented on the photo. It was an important shocase of Central Asian tradition, music, dance, art, and cuisine.
