This article considers the world at risk; in particular it focuses on the three topics covered at the international conference of Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church in 2018 in Sarajevo: climate change, its impact on marginalized populations, and the tragic banality of contemporary political leadership. The article turns to a proposal by Trinity College’s Linda Hogan to develop an ethics of vulnerability so as to respond to the triple crisis. After examining contemporary writings on both vulnerability and precarity by Judith Butler and others, it concludes by applying the ethics of vulnerability to other urgent cases as well.

The 2021 10th International Conference “Forest ecosystems in the conditions of climate change: biological productivity and remote sensing” (FORECO) was held 28-29 September 2021 in the Zoom format. Since 2010 FORECO has become an annual international conference on the application of remote sensing technologies for monitoring and assessment of forests. The conference is aimed at promoting the exchange of new research ideas and practices on the use of remote sensing in estimation of forest cover and tackling the issues of climate change. The Conference was organized by the staff of Centre of Sustainable Forest Management and Remote Sensing of the Volga State University of Technology (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia). Meeting website: https://feucc.volgatech.net/ Number of participants: 78 Countries represented: Austria, Finland, Greece, Russia, China, South Africa, Vietnam, Estonia, Italy, Australia. Sponsors: International Union of Forestry Research Organizations, SUFOGIS ERASMUS+ project of the European Union, GEMOECO BRICS project.

Following the success of 2014, 2016 and 2018 International Conference on Science & Technology Applications in Climate Change (STACLIM), the Institute of Climate Change (IPI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) is proud to extend our promotion of research and education for the advancement of climate change studies. The 2021 International Conference on Science & Technology Applications in Climate Change (STACLIM 2021) with the theme “Empowering Breakthroughs for Climate Change” is the fourth in the series of conferences organized by IPI. This year the conference was carried out in virtual form through the Webex platform (1 – 2 July 2021) due to the COVID-19 travel restriction. Through the virtual form, the science community is able to share their research findings in time. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers in fields of Environmental Science, Health Sustainability, Mathematics, Sustainable Energy, Economic Sustainability, Socio-Cultural Studies, Social Science, Atmospheric Science, and related fields, to present their research findings as well as create new opportunities for future research collaborations. This event is envisaged to witness active participation from various eminent environmental and earth scientists, engineers and students from academia, industry and government sectors for addressing complications associated with climate change and to draw forth novel and ground-breaking initiatives and solutions for climate resilience. List of Organizing Committee is available in this pdf.

Abstract. Accelerating climate change and increased economic and environmental interest in permafrost-affected regions have resulted in an acute need for more directed permafrost research. In June 2014, 88 early career researchers convened to identify future priorities for permafrost research. This multidisciplinary forum concluded that five research topics deserve greatest attention: permafrost landscape dynamics; permafrost thermal modelling; integration of traditional knowledge; spatial analysis of permafrost types and vulnerability; and engineering issues. These topics underline the need for integrated research across a spectrum of permafrost-related domains and constitute a contribution to the Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III).
