International Climate Resilience Conference
Ludwig- Maximillians-University of Munich (LMU), Germany
26-29 October 2025
Climate change research has been dominated by warning about risks, vulnerabilities, and damages, often overlooking the significant efforts made by human systems to build and sustain resilience. This conference addresses the gap by highlighting the achievements, progress, and innovative solutions in climate resilience, emphasizing successful strategies, best practices, and achievable potentials that enable communities, organizations, and governments to thrive amid climate impacts.
The conference will bring together leading academics and emerging scholars to discuss the latest research in the scientific field of climate resilience. It also welcomes policymakers, practitioners, and community leaders to share strategies and innovations in real-world settings. The conference aims to provide a platform for collaboration on climate resilience studies, to establish a community for resilience researchers, and to promote a resilience thinking instead of risk thinking in the narrative of climate change.
Submissions must be completed via the following link: https://survey.ifkw.lmu.de/ClimateResilienceConference by Friday 30 May 2025 at German time. The session conveners and conference scientific committee will evaluate and select submissions for oral and poster presentations. You will be notified about the acceptance decisions by the end of June 2025.
Unpon the interests of the session conveners and participants, the conference may support to publish a Special Issue in a prestigious journal on the topic of climate resilience studies. Presenters are expected to attend the workshop physically in Munich. Online participation is unfortunately not supported. The conference does not charge any fees and may offer a few travel funds to authors of excellent submissions based on comparative selections.
We look forward to welcoming all interested scholars to Munich soon. For further questions, please contact Dr. Liang Emlyn Yang at climate.resilience@lmu.de.
