Earth 2050: transformative strategies for a climate-positive planet
IKEM Academy 2023, titled ‘Earth 2050: transformative strategies for a climate-positive planet’, investigated how bold action and out-of-the-box thinking can empower communities, foster inclusive decision-making, build resilience – and pave the way towards climate neutrality by 2050.
The five-day Academy featured interactive workshops, presentations, a site visit and panel discussions led by renowned energy and climate experts. Highly qualified researchers, professionals and students from around the world had the opportunity to discuss topics such as:
- How can we navigate the process of system transformation while balancing diverse needs and interests?
- In an era of deepening global conflict, how can we build consensus for climate action?
- How can adaptive measures respond effectively to local needs – and is it possible to scale up these solutions?
- What role can new digital technologies and artistic initiatives play in promoting collaborative responses?
