Description

In this session, the Research Network Chair will begin by discussing the Special Focus theme “Responding to Climate Change as Emergency” and what this means for research, practice and policy. A select few delegates who have submitted a paper will have the opportunity to present a short, 5-minute lightning talk to summarize their work. From there, the participants will be divided into ‘breakout’ zooms to discuss and pose key questions. This discussion will allow participants to consider the Special Focus theme in more detail, and will also form the foundation for the key questions and themes for the blended, 2022 conference.
