The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly entwined with the consequences of other major global issues. In this session, we will explore the nexus between these causes of enormous suffering and unjustifiable inequality.
On 4th February, we invite you to enjoy a new edition of the Cassandra Conference.
How does one move forward? How can CASSANDRA result in tangible changes? How does one establish Africa and the Mediterranean as leaders in science and technology addressing the relationship between Climate Change and Health, Migration, Conflict and Gender Inequality?
From the beginning of organised political activity, scientists and artists have been employed as diplomats, creating bridges that others could not construct.
The Arts and the Press have a vital role to play, providing stimulating emotional links between the challenges which Africa and the Mediterranean face and the sensitivity of its peoples.
Data to Action is a process whereby raw data is collected and analysed to inform decision-making and actionable tasks by communities at a local, sub-national, national and supranational level.
Citizen engagement is the involvement of citizens in civic processes, such as decision-making, policymaking and community issue resolution.
An introduction to seven concepts which can lead to the creation, implementation and replication of solutions to the challenges identified by the conference.
Migration provoked by climate change will escalate in the future. Migration, be it an internal rural-urban movement, regional population shifts, or international displacement can be perceived as a threat and thus be manipulated by extreme political influences in a negative way. It is significant to note that perceived insecurity is more critical than actual insecurity.
