8th annual SRA-E Benelux conference: “Balancing risks: the role of science, society and policy in climate and energy transition"
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Transition
Join us for dynamic discussions and insights aimed at shaping a sustainable and climatere-resilient future.
Designing effective policy strategies to address the complexities of climate change and energy transitions requires both scientific insights and societal engagement. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, between academics, practitioners and policymakers, we can develop holistic solutions that address the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change and energy transitions.
The conference aims to bring together researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers engaged in risk analysis. It also aims to promote risk research, and knowledge and understanding of risk analysis concepts and applications within the Benelux countries and beyond.
SRA Europe Benelux invites all contributions related to risk, e.g., risk analysis, risk management, risk governance, risk ethics, risk perception, and risk communication. We particularly welcome contributions that focus on risk perception in relation to climate and energy transitions. Contributions from other domains are also welcome.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Science-policy interface for Climate Policy
- Climate Action planning, risk and impact assessment
- Energy Transitions: impacts and sustainable pathways
- The social dimensions of risk and resilience
- Perception of climate and energy risks
