Academics and researchers from across the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Norwich Research Park are warmly invited to join the ClimateUEA community for their annual conference at The Enterprise Centre on Monday 3 July.  

The ClimateUEA Day conference will see expert commentators from UEA and beyond offering their thoughts on a range of climate-aligned topics, giving staff the space to discuss and develop ideas with colleagues, both from within and outside of the University, through presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities.

In keeping with ClimateUEA’s interdisciplinary ethos, ClimateUEA Day will feature speakers from diverse disciplines, promising different insights and discussion points on our climate change research and its impact. The event starts with lunch at midday and concludes at 5pm with a drinks reception until 6pm on the TEC roof-terrace (weather permitting!). 

Conference highlights include:

  • Sue Penlington, Sustainability Manger at the Holkham Estate will join Prof Andrew Lovett, Prof Neil Ward and Dr Petter Emmrich to unpack ‘NetZero Targets in the Land-Use Sector’ 

  • Sophie Rigg (Action Aid), Dr Geoff Darch (Anglian Water), Prof David Viner (Co-Chair, UK Climate Programme’s Knowledge Network) in conversation with Prof Joanne Clark and Prof Tim Osborn to reflect on their experiences of utilising IPCC Assessment Reports to inform climate change action. 

  • Joining the event for the first time, Critical Decade for Climate Change Contribution Leverhulme Doctoral Scholars will be asking ‘What is so Critical about the Critical Decade?’, offering their thoughts on how their differing fields of research is shaping their perspectives of the climate crisis. 


Prof Konstantinos Chalvatzis, Professor in Sustainable Energy Business and Academic Director ClimateUEA, said: 

"ClimateUEA is delighted to be hosting our fourth consecutive ClimateUEA Day on Monday 3 July, which promises to be an afternoon of stimulating panels and discussions, as well as an important opportunity to connect with the community.
