About Conference

In addition to the expert presentations, the Windhoek, Namibia 2025 conference will offer a dynamic platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among academics, policymakers, practitioners, and community leaders from around the world. The event will feature interactive panel discussions, workshops, and breakout sessions designed to foster innovative approaches and practical solutions to the complex challenges posed by climate change and disaster risks.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with case studies and research findings from southern Africa and other vulnerable regions, providing critical insights into the real-world impacts of climate change. Special focus will be given to community-based participatory research (CBPR) initiatives that empower local communities to actively participate in risk assessment, decision-making, and the development of adaptive strategies.

The conference aims to strengthen networks and partnerships that transcend geographical and disciplinary boundaries, promoting an inclusive understanding of risk variability over time and space. Through collaborative efforts, the Windhoek 2025 conference seeks to contribute to the development of resilient, adaptive communities capable of navigating the evolving landscape of global climate challenges.
