We extend our warm invitation to join us at the forefront of addressing the pressing challenges of climate change, water scarcity, and migration in Central Asia. The conference “Beyond Borders: Central Asia in the Face of Climate Change, Water Scarcity, and Migration Challenges” aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge exchange among scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to enhance understanding of these interlinkages in the region. We are now accepting abstracts on these themes:
- Theme 1: Water Scarcity, Climate Change, and Adaption in Central Asia
- Theme 2: Climate Change, Conflict, Migration and Displacement
- Theme 3: Migration, Resilience, and Remittances
- Theme 4: Policy Pathways for a Sustainable Future
Submissions of extended abstracts by researchers from Central Asia, as well as comparative and cross-country empirical, cross-sectional longitudinal, and theoretical contributions, are particularly welcome. Deadline for abstract submission is 7 June 2024.
Travel grants are available for presenters with accepted contributions.
More information about specific conference topics, abstract submission guidelines, travel grants, and important dates is available on the conference page https://conference.wiut.uz/nexus2024.
