11th Cross-disciplinary Workshop on Sustainability

"Climate action at university and from the university"

21 November 2019

With the eleventh Cross-Disciplinary Workshop, our aim is to reflect on climate action from a cross-disciplinary perspective, analysing the relationship between consumption and environmental protection, in accordance with goal 13 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Through student presentations and by listening and conversing with experts from different fields, this year’s workshop will explore issues such as:

  • How does global warming affect people's health?
  • What human activities contribute to climate change?
  • What are the dangers and consequences of climate change for our health? How can we help to curb climate change in our daily lives?
  • Can citizen participation help to address climate change?
  • What can education do to contribute to climate action?
  • How are communication and publicity involved in citizen mobility for climate action?
  • What is the relationship between climate change and sea level rise, and what are the consequences?
  • At present, can we talk about environmental refugees due to climate change?
  • What effects and impacts cause climate change in ecosystems such as large forests, oceans and glaciers and their biodiversity?
  • What consumption habits contribute to mitigating climate change?
  • Are we in time to curb climate change and its consequences? How?

9.30 a.m. - 11.00 a.m.

  • Interactive workshops and posters: “Climate Action”

11.00 a.m. - 12.00 a.m.

  • Colloquium-conference: “Climate Change: Scientific and ethical implications"
    • Dr Emilio Chuvieco. Professor of Geography at the Universidad de Alcalá and director of the Environmental Ethics Chair.

12.30 a.m. - 14.30 a.m.

  • Climate Fair!
    • Space to publicise initiatives of different companies and organisations.
    • The stands of the fair will be grouped into different areas: sustainable food, mobility, sustainable fashion, cosmetics, cleaning, waste reduction, etc.
