1. Energy Emission

“Strategies and Technologies for Low-Emission Renewable Energy.” As the world strives toward net-zero targets, renewable energy innovation is at the heart of global decarbonisation efforts. In this session, we will hear from leading researchers who will share strategies, technological developments, and insights into cutting-edge research that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy pathways.

2. Panel Discussion

This session brings together researchers from academia and industry to share their career journeys, strategies for progression, and insights on key challenges like work-life balance, mentorship, and collaboration. The discussion will offer practical advice and personal reflections to help early-to-mid-career researchers shape their career path.

3. Climate, health and human response/Decarbonisation and health

Cutting emissions can deliver climate benefits while also improving air quality, reducing disease, and supporting healthier communities. This session explores the critical intersection between decarbonisation and human health, and discusses the policies, innovations, and collaborations needed to achieve both environmental and health outcomes.

4. Reductions and Removal
