New Geography Challenges – How Geography Science and Education Adapt to a Constantly Changing World?

Description:

Our planet is in a state of constant flux, driven by forces like climate change, natural hazards, population shifts, economic inequality, and technological advancements. These changing dynamics present new challenges and opportunities for the field of geography, demanding adaptation in both scientific research and education. The event/seminar will explore these emerging themes and their impact on the way we understand and interact with the world around us.
