Following two highly successful Climate Conferences in 2018 and 2021 that resulted in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East Climate Change Initiative (EMME-CCI), The Cyprus Institute has partnered with the Cyprus Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts to co-organize the 2024 iteration, Climate Crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
This international conference seeks to engage a very broad spectrum of key stakeholders, including scientists, academicians and policymakers, as well as political and civic leaders. The thematic agenda will examine the scientific foundations and the model projections of the climate crisis, as it evolves in a region that is widely recognized as one of the principal climate change “hot spots” of the world. Strategies for mitigation and adaptation will be presented, and their financial, legal and moral aspects will be debated.
