Climate change literacy is crucial as it may empower individuals and communities with the knowledge to understand the impacts of climate change, the underlying science, and the strategies needed for mitigation and adaptation. The Symposium aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners and educators engaged with climate literacy to exchange their knowledge and perspectives. It also aims to offer a valuable platform to enable climate literacy providers and users from the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East regions to depeen their knowledge on the topic and enhance networks. The theme of the Symposium, "Combining the Theory and Practice of Climate Change Literacy” reflects the intention to offer participants an opportunity to present what they are doing, both in research and reflections on climate literacy principles, and their implementation in practice.

Women suffer more than men from the consequences of the climate
crisis. At the same time, there are gender-related differences both in
the climate footprint and in the preferred solutions. This has been
scientifically proven many times over. Gender equality as a recovery
program for our world shaken by the climate crisis is a recommendation
derived from this by various think tanks. Without gender justice, there
can be no climate justice. In a workshop format, the basics of the
connections between climate and gender will be presented and/or
refreshed. Contribution towards expenses: €15.00. Please register by Monday, May 27.
The workshop will focus on the topic of "Teaching the competencies of
transformative research - cross-university exchange" and will address
the following questions: Which transformative research competencies,
skills, expertise, attitudes and methods do we teach in our
courses/modules/study programs? How do we design the teaching/learning
process? What resources do we draw on - what resources can we build up
together?
The klimaaktiv Annual Conference 2024 is also the 20th anniversary of Austria's largest climate protection initiative.

Take your chance and join the discussion in the research project "AI-Driven Semantic Search and Visualization to Support the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030 (SDGHUB)". Please register by May 27.
The labor market is changing not only as a result of technological progress, but also due to the multifaceted interaction between generations. Although the high demand for labor has seemingly brought the “human factor” back into focus, age discrimination is still an everyday experience. Thinking in terms of “generations” does not help: baby boomers are seen as narrow-minded and far removed from technology, while younger generations are stereotyped as disinterested and primarily leisure-oriented. The talk will focus on the causes and consequences of this discrimination, with the aim of discussing constructive approaches for an inclusive working environment. In this intergenerational dialog, we will discuss strategies for promoting intergenerational coexistence and the opportunities that arise from this. More information may be found here.

In the field of sustainability sciences, a growing number of universities and non-university research institutions that see themselves as pioneers, companions and initiators of a sustainability transformation are visible and reflect on their own actions accordingly. A central challenge seems to be finding and defining their own role in the field of tension between scientific excellence and social relevance. The focus here is on the questions of what impact such institutions want to and can achieve, how this can be measured and how incentive systems can be developed to promote an orientation towards social effectiveness. These questions will be explored together at the annual conference. You can find more information here.
