The COP26 climate summit: A new hope?
Cycle of conferences
The COP26 Climate Summit is held in Glasgow (UK) from 1 to 12 Novemberand will bring together representatives from many countries around the world with a common goal: implementing measures to reduce global temperature to below 1.5°C below pre-industrial levels.
In this context, the Science Museum of the University of Navarra has organised, as part of the activities planned for Science Week, a series of conferences on Climate Change. The aim of this cycle is to provide society, in an informative way and with the help of experts, with a multidisciplinary vision of this subject: biodiversity, circular economy, ecology, energy sources and sustainable building.
The Science Museum is organising these sessions thanks to the collaboration of the Banco Sabadell Foundation, Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) / Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Navarre, Life Invasaqua and the Institute of Biodiversity and Environment of the University of Navarra.
All the lectures can be followed in person until full capacity is reached or by streaming on the Science Museum's YouTube channel.
