AICC conference (Action versus Inaction facing Climate Change)
The 5th edition of the AICC conference (Action versus Inaction facing Climate Change)
The world is going through difficult times, marked by increasingly severe manifestations of climate change, including heat waves in Europe, low water levels in the Rhine and Danube, and the growing frequency and magnitude of fires and other extreme events worldwide.
Against this backdrop, the 5th edition of the AICC conference (Action versus Inaction facing Climate Change), will be held in Hamburg, Germany, on June 9–11, 2027, at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH).
The conference brings together leading experts from around the world across economics, engineering, sociology, geography, built environmental science, and political science. Topics will include CO2 management, sustainable urban planning and transportation, sustainable adaptation, energy systems, and innovative strategies for a greener economy.
This year, the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) will organize the event, with key support from the UNU Hub and the Digital City Science Chair (DCS) at the HafenCity University Hamburg (HCU).
