Risk and Planet Earth - Vulnerability, Natural Hazards, Integrated Adaptation Strategies
Mother earth can seem inhospitable. Constant environmental threats as well as periodically occurring extreme weather events like floods, tempests or heavy turbulences can have a powerful impact on our lives. Preventing the worst effects of such cataclysms requires interdisciplinary academic collaboration as well as close cooperation between academia and politics. Against this background, Leipzig University in cooperation with the German Committee for Disaster Reduction (DKKV) organize a scientific conference with lectures, panels, discussion rounds and workshops on the topic "Risk and Planet Earth". The three-day conference will bring together experts from natural and social sciences to discuss questions of resilience and strategies for the prevention of catastrophic losses by extreme weather events. The workshops are meant to reflect scientific research and concrete practices. The congress connects perspectives from three different continents: North America, Africa and Europe. Disaster prevention and mitigation are the focus of the three-day event. The main question concerns adaptation, that is, adaption to given parameters, as well as to expected changes. In this context, it is necessary to discuss a) what exactly the future will bring, b) which strategies secure optimal adaptation, and c) how these strategies can be implemented in daily practice. Speakers include representatives of several pertinent transnational organizations (IOM, IYPE, ICSU) as well as scientists of various disciplines from South Africa, Japan, USA, Germany and Switzerland.
