Planetary health is among new categories used in research. It helps to describe the current state of the environment and climate in relation to the wellbeing of the population. Scientists from the UW’s ICMCM are also involved in this kind of analyses. MOSAIC – the international project in which they are involved has received funding from the Horizon Europe programme.

Under the SUNERGY pan-European initiative, the SUNER-C project has been granted funding of four million EUR to accelerate innovation on solar fuels and chemicals, and to support transition towards a fossil-free EU economy.

Facing the climate change and its consequent challenges, the UW Rector’s Team for Ecology and Climate Crisis has issued a document that describes strategic ”milestones” to be achieved by the University of Warsaw in the forthcoming years. The Agenda refers to the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations.

RI-URBANS project, in which UW scientists are involved, received funding in the European Commission's call “European Research Infrastructures capacities and services to address European Green Deal challenges (LC-GD-9-1-2020)”.

Climate change is not a myth. Scientists in the world are warning that we are at a defining moment to rescue our planet. UW experts initiated the creation of a textbook about climate. It is an interdisciplinary publication for university students, high school students and teachers.

On 8th December, Dr. Visa A.J. Kurki from the Law Faculty of the University of Helsinki will be speaking about legal personhood and animal rights.

UW scientists create a web portal – Climate Science – where they present the foundations of climate and global warming science. From 1st to 7th June, one can watch a film “It is Okay to Panic”, in which Prof. Szymon Malinowski, cofounder of the portal, explains why he worries that climate change may cause human civilisation to collapse in the coming decades.

A declaration on climate change was adopted on 28th May by the Council of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Warsaw. Psychologists appeal to the entire academic community to undertake all possible activities that are aimed at disseminating knowledge on the threats resulting from climate change.
