Introduction
On 4th February, we invite you to enjoy a new edition of the Cassandra Conference.
15th NOV 2023 | 12.30 to 13.30 CET
CONCLUSIONS
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?
15th NOV 2023 | 11.00 to 12.30 CET
PANEL NINE: Climate change – The gateway to a new form of diplomacy
From the beginning of organised political activity, scientists and artists have been employed as diplomats, creating bridges that others could not construct.
15th NOV 2023 | 10.00 to 11.00 CET
PANEL EIGHT: The role of the artist and the writer
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.
14th NOV 2023 | 14.00 to 16.30 CET
PANEL SEVEN: Data to action – Knowledge to effect
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.
14th NOV 2023 | 11.30 to 13.00 CET
PANEL SIX: Citizen engagement and citizen science
Citizen engagement is the involvement of citizens in civic processes, such as decision-making, policymaking and community issue resolution.
14th NOV 2023 | 10.30 to 11.30 CET
PANEL FIVE: The seven pillars of sustainability
An introduction to seven concepts which can lead to the creation, implementation and replication of solutions to the challenges identified by the conference.
13th NOV 2023 | 15.30 to 16.30 CET
PANEL FOUR: Climate change and migration
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.
13th NOV 2023 | 14.30 to 15.30 CET
PANEL THREE: Climate change and gender equality
The increase and deepening of gender inequality is another potential consequence of Climate Change. Women are likely to be disproportionately affected because, on average, women tend to be poorer, have less access to education, have a lower health status and have limited direct access to or ownership of natural resources.
13th NOV 2023 | 12.30 CET to 13.30 CET
PANEL TWO: Climate change and health
How will climate change affect the safety and health of communities and populations globally?
