We are seeking 2-page abstracts of academically rigorous work that has direct implications for practitioners. Abstracts should convey the theory tested, results, and their practical implications. Topics of particular interest can be seen in the image above.

You can also get in touch with us if you’d like to organise a panel or papers session around a particular topic.

Please submit your abstracts or session proposals by 13th December by emailing uknee@uknee.org.uk.

Recognising the Value of Africa's Carbon Superpowers

a forestLAB & LSE event

Africa’s highly forested, low deforestation nations play a significant role in global carbon sequestration, yet their share of climate funding is inadequate. Join the Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment and forestLAB for a pre-COP26 debate to explore how countries such as Gabon can realise the value of their forests in a way that is both climate-positive and economically sustainable.

When: Oct 19th, 4pm (UK time)
