| Summary: |
The German Committee for Disaster Reduction (DKKV), the International
Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) and
the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human
Security (UNU-EHS) in partnership with the City of Bonn and Deutsche
Welle broadcasting station will jointly organize a series of workshops
twice a year called "Bonn Dialogues on Global Environmental Change".
The series focuses on substantive issues related to anthropogenic
drivers and consequences of Global Environmental Change and Human
Security. Sector specific themes, such as climate, water, energy,
or food will be addressed in a cross-cutting manner. The topics of
these regular workshops, which would take place every spring and autumn
and include both a closed expert roundtable as well as an open public
lecture, will be under the three overarching themes of vulnerability,
adaptation and resilience.
The organizers are networks of scientific research and practitioners,
who apply themselves to the tasks of fostering high quality, interdisciplinary
research and bridging the gap between science, practice and decision
makers.
The Dialogue Series will:
• raise public awareness of different aspects of Global Environmental
Change;
• serve as a forum for interdisciplinary multi-stakeholder
exchanges of views;
• contribute to different scientific, political and public
discourses; and
• present Bonn as a host of various organizations dealing
with cooperation, sustainable development and environmental concerns.
