Research: Showcase recent scientific advancements in understanding the connections between atmospheric chemistry, climate change, and meteorological/hydrological extremes.
The first International Conference on Chemical Weather and Chemical Climate (CWCC), themed "Science, Risks, Impacts, Health and Governance Associated with Multi-scale Environmental Perturbations", jointly hosted by the World Meteorological Organization/Global Atmosphere Watch Programme (WMO/GAW), the Monitoring, Analysis, and Prediction of Air Quality International Research Program (MAP-AQ), the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk International Program (IRDR), and Fudan University, along with support from various international and domestic institutions, will be held in Shanghai from October 16th to October 20th, 2023.
The conference, organized by the Fudan IRDR International Centre of Excellence and the MAP-AQ Asian Office Shanghai, aims to review significant advancements in related disciplines and interdisciplinary research. It will provide a deeper understanding of the interconnections between climate change, weather/climate extremes, air quality, and population health, as well as their implications for the climate and environmental governance processes necessary to achieve the target of carbon neutrality and the Sustainable Development Goals. Scholars, experts, and practitioners, both from domestic and international institutions, will be invited to participate in the conference through keynote speeches, thematic presentations, roundtable discussions, collaboration consultation, and outstanding young scientist awards, fostering academic exchange and exploration to address the risk interconnectivity of the interdisciplinary and crosscutting issues for better climate and environment governance. The conference warmly welcomes the participation of researchers, technical personnel and practitioners from universities, institutes, and enterprises, as well as postgraduates. It also extends a sincere invitation to domestic and international institutions, universities, enterprises, and NGOs to support the conference in various capacities and resources. For further details, please liaise with the designated contact person in the second-round circular of the conference.
Research: Showcase recent scientific advancements in understanding the connections between atmospheric chemistry, climate change, and meteorological/hydrological extremes.
Forcing: Identify the underlying mechanisms that drive observed environmental changes associated with weather/climate and atmospheric composition. This includes exploring natural and anthropogenic contributions such as traffic and industrial emissions, urbanization, agriculture, etc.
Impacts: Evaluate the socio-economic ramifications of atmospheric and climate changes, including their effects on public health and biological productivity.
Societal responses: Determine how scientific breakthroughs can improve global governance and facilitate collaboration among scientists, technical professionals, and practitioners to accomplish the objectives outlined in international agreements.
Participation: Encourage early career scientists actively engage in interdisciplinary studies, fostering a collaborative environment.
