Conference Theme 2025

We are pleased to invite submissions for abstracts for the upcoming CERA Conference 2025 on ‘Climate Change, Sustainability and Learning: Interdisciplinary Perspectives.’ In today’s world, the escalating impacts of global warming, resource depletion, and environmental degradation threaten the very fabric of our ecosystems and human societies. Addressing these challenges is crucial for ensuring a sustainable and equitable future. Learning plays a pivotal role in promoting climate change awareness and sustainability. It empowers individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand and tackle these pressing issues. Through effective learning, we can inspire action, drive behavioural change, and foster innovative solutions that contribute to a sustainable world.

‘Learning,’ in this context, is interpreted in its broadest sense, extending beyond formal educational settings to encompass informal learning environments such as museums, galleries, and other non-institutional spaces. Additionally, the digital space offers numerous learning opportunities. Besides traditional online courses and e-books, digital media and games also provide rich learning resources and interactive experiences. Therefore, we must consider virtual spaces and online platforms in our discussion. We are particularly interested in how emerging learning technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), can be leveraged to achieve sustainable outcomes. The aim is to explore how learning, in all its forms, can contribute to our understanding and action on climate change and sustainability.

We especially encourage submissions that adopt interdisciplinary perspectives and/or intersect with the world beyond academia. Climate change and sustainability are multifaceted issues that require the integration of knowledge from various disciplines and sectors. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and engaging with diverse communities, we can develop more comprehensive and effective approaches to these global challenges.

We look forward to receiving your abstracts and to the rich discussions that will undoubtedly emerge from this gathering of scholars, practitioners, and innovators. Please submit your abstracts by Apirl 2025, and join us in advancing our collective understanding and response to climate change and sustainability through the lens of learning.

We sincerely look forward to your attendance at our Conference 2025!
