Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking discussion on Surviving the Anthropocene and Securing Human Well-being in the 21st Century, featuring distinguished speaker, Professor Dr. Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber, Director General of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria, and one of the leading voices in climate science and sustainability. With a rich background in climate science and research, Dr. Schellnhuber has been instrumental in shaping global conversations on climate change and its impacts on human societies.
In this exclusive event in cooperation with the the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), Dr. Schellnhuber will discuss the challenges posed by the Anthropocene – the age when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet's climate and ecosystems – and strategies for securing human wellbeing in the face of unprecedented environmental changes. Innovative solutions and pathways towards a more sustainable future will also be explored.
The lecture will be followed by an Austrian wine reception.
