Join the online Climate Adaptation Week Groningen starting today
It is probably the biggest challenge of the 21st century: the changing climate. Consequences of flooding due to heavy rainfall, heatwaves, and draughts have an increasing impact on our daily lives. How to adapt to these consequences is the main subject of the online Climate Adaptation Week Groningen, which starts today and will run until 25 January 2021.
Over 70 international speakers including (U)CF professors Dr. Karsten Schulz and Dr. Maarten Loonen will share their ideas on climate adaptation during this week. Will you join them?
