Sustainable Development of the Earth's Cold Regions under a Warming Scenario
15:30-17:30 (Beijing Local Time), September 7th, 2025 Beijing International Conventional Center, Room: 305B
The GEOCRI session at FBAS 2025 will focus on the sustainable development of cold regions in the context of global warming. This critical discussion will bring together scientists and researchers to explore innovative approaches to preserving and enhancing the resilience of Earth's cold regions, which are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Through a series of invited presentations and collaborative discussions, the session will highlight the role of remote sensing, international cooperation, and advanced technologies in shaping a sustainable future for these sensitive environments.
Key topics include monitoring snow and glacier dynamics, mapping settlements in the Arctic, advancing landform inventories, and leveraging space-based observations to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Participants will engage in a lively exchange of ideas, aiming to guide GEOCRI's contributions to the global climate action agenda.
This session will be held on September 7th, 2025, from 15:30 to 17:30 at the Beijing International Convention Center (Room: 305B), featuring distinguished experts in the field and promoting cross-border collaboration for a sustainable, climate-resilient future.
