11–12 September 2024, Baku, Azerbaijan
As Azerbaijan gears up to host COP29, we are delighted to be hosting the THE University Impact Forum: Climate Action 2024 in Baku.
The forum will convene international university leaders, policymakers and industry trailblazers to assess how climate change is shaping the lived experiences of almost every individual, with current students and subsequent generations bearing the brunt of current and anticipated environmental disruption.
Through panel discussions and bespoke data masterclasses curated around SDG 13 for climate action, delegates will receive first-hand knowledge from leading voices in the sector on how to bolster their research outcomes and institutional efforts. They will have the opportunity to expand their network of colleagues who share their ambitions for expedited climate action.
Agenda themes
The agenda will explore how universities must play a pivotal role in meeting the needs of these cohorts by making climate action a core institutional objective.
- Why the success of the UN’s SDGs depends on SDG 13, and the role universities can play in supporting this
- How universities can use their research outputs to put climate action at the core of their strategies
- How universities can act as players to bring together key stakeholders to address climate change consequences
- How universities can support under-represented groups in the fight against climate change
