UEF Kuopio campus, Snellmania building
ICS25 Theme: Climate Change, Resilience and Just Transitions
The challenges posed by climate change and air quality are significant global challenges which require integrated approaches. It is essential to understand the combined impacts of natural and human-induced emissions on climate and air quality, as well as the role of natural feedback mechanisms. Grasping these complex interactions is vital for developing effective solutions to these urgent environmental issues and for implementing policies that underscore the need for integrated strategies to protect both the environment and public health. The integrated strategies across disciplines include: i) coordinating climate actions and air quality management, ii) implementing control strategies that address pollution control and incorporate health data to guide decision-making, iii) enhancing the green transition, and iv) employing sustainable urban planning.
