Share Your Expertise at NCSE 2021
January 5–8, 2021 | Virtual Conference
The planet is witnessing extreme drought and extreme rainfall, rising seas and sinking land, and warming oceans and shifting fish stocks. Emergent disease, migration, water scarcity, displacement, food insecurity, and uncertaintyーthese are the social and economic consequences of a global ecosystem under pressure.
The NCSE 2021 Annual Conference will take a systems-approach to heat and water during this time of change ーexamining both impacts and solutions. NCSE 2021 will be a virtual conference that will explore the links between the changes in Earth’s physical systems and its social institutions. For 20 years, NCSE Annual Conferences have convened more than 600 leaders from science, education, government, policy, business, and civil society to advance science and solutions across these sectors.
Submit a proposal to present at NCSE 2021 by July 10, 2020, to showcase your research and work and exemplify how science can lead the way to informed decision-making and durable policies.
