As climate change represents an existential threat to our planet, demanding immediate and comprehensive action, RV University organized an international research conference on SDG 13 – Climate Action with a theme “Climate Change, Land Use Transitions, and Sustainability: Present Scenarios and Future Prospects.” RV extended an invite to SLSU to enjoin faculty discussants for knowledge sharing and awareness building on integrated land-use planning, robust governance, and active stakeholder engagement. Specifically, the event aims to showcase integrated approaches, promotes collaboration, identifies barriers and enablers, and conduct capacity-building.
