CHANGE OF DATE! Science for Sustainable Development - Thu. 20 April 16h30

[Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems]

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE!

The Organisers of the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems
(smr3113)
are glad to announce the talk by Max Paoli, TWAS Programme Coordinator:

Title: Science for Sustainable Development

Abstract:
Our planet, and therefore our existence, faces several challenges: world
population, food security, climate change, biodiversity loss, water
scarcity/poor sanitation, energy resources. Sustainability is already at
the forefront of many discussions at the international scene. The new
Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda may well
represent the best attempt at addressing sustainability issues at a
global scale.
Education and awareness are the first key to the way forward; scientists
can take a lead to help, for instance, with an advocacy effort to
catalyse a reflection on sustainability.

The presentation and discussion will be held at the Adriatico Guest
House, Giambiagi lecture hall, on Thursday 20 April at 16:30.

You are all most welcome to attend!

Best regards,
Erica
