Climate change can be a politically divisive subject. Irrespective of the causes of climate change, horticulturists in Britain and Ireland are undoubtedly seeing the effects of a changing climate in their gardens, arboreta and plant collections. More extreme weather events, rising global temperatures, and changing rainfall patterns are just some of the challenges facing botanic and public gardens. The PlantNetwork Climate Change Conference provides a platform to discuss some of the challenges facing gardens – and looks at opportunities that might also emerge.
The PlantNetwork Conference is running a Lightning Talks session on Wednesday 8th May. This session allows speakers to showcase their ideas, gardens and climate resilient solutions to delegates in short, concise talks of 5 minutes. With the option of including up to 5 PowerPoint slides as well as a short abstract in the conference proceedings (which will be published online), speakers are able to use their talks to raise the profile of their work to a wide audience.
If you would like to submit a suggestion for a Lightning Talk, please complete the form at: https://plantnetwork.org/news/... before Friday 8th March 2019.
If you are interests in submitting a full conference presentation (30 minutes talk) , please contact the PlantNetwork Coordinator (please email: office@plantnetwork.org).
