Working Group 21, Physics for Climate Change Action and Sustainable Development, aims to hold a major international conference in 2027. The WG21 invites all the IUPAP Member Liaisons to submit a proposal to host this conference. The aim of the Working Group 21 and of the conference is to provide a forum for the global physics community to engage more closely with climate change action and sustainable development. It is important that this conference should attract as many physicists from around the world as possible, including from the developing world, so that they can meet, exchange information, data and ideas, and fulfil the task of identifying, promoting, engaging with, and discussing the unique role that physics is and should be playing in the challenges that face our planet now and in the coming decades.
This will be one of IUPAP’s major events in the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development declared by the United Nations. It will also contribute through the Earth- Humanity Coalition. Please direct enquiries, expression of interest, and the final proposal document to The Chair and Secretary of Working Group 21, c/o the IUPAP Secretariat, secretariat@iupap.org.

Please read the conference guidelines and scope.

 

The Executive Committee has called for expressions of interest in hosting both the in-person GA and the ICP, International Conference of Physics, in 2027. It may be possible to combine these events, offering the climate change and sustainability science conference as the ICP.
