‘Climate resilient researchers: essential skills to work with wicked problems’.

A critical exploration of global climate resilience and adaptation research.

Two collaborative and interactive online sessions are being convened by the ACU. The ACU is holding the virtual events on two consecutive days, with the aim of making the events accessible to attendees in multiple time zones.

Further information for sign up can be found here.

There is growing recognition of the need to re-think how we undertake adaptation and resilience research to urgently address the shifting challenges of climate change and climate variability. The ACU believes that inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches are needed to inform vital research on climate change. Everyone interested in this type of research is encouraged to attend, especially those in the early stages of their academic careers, as well as those who want to share their experience with the next generation of researchers.

These sessions will aim to:

• Explore the range of resilience and adaptation research being undertaken
• Highlight the obvious and less obvious competencies needed to do this work
• Create connections and establish partnerships between early-career researchers
• Add to the adaptation research community
