The Interdisciplinary Observatory on Climate Change is proud to invite all those interested to the inaugural lecture of our OIMC’s 5th Cycle of Webinars: The Climate Emergency and the Necessary Transformations: how to build fair social, ecological and energy transitions?, given by Beatriz Mattos ( Plataforma CIPÓ), Renata Albuquerque Ribeiro (LABMUNDO and Zero Carbon Analytics) and Carolina de Figueiredo Garrido (JUMA/PUC-Rio and OIMC) and moderated by Prof. Ana Paula Tostes, researcher of our Strategic Committee. On Friday, 29 August 2025, the conference will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Jaime Antunes Auditorium (Room 9042 F) on the Maracanã campus of the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).
This first in-person edition of the OIMC Cycle is part of the Rio Climate Action Week (RCAW) programme and is being organised by the Observatory in partnership with the Academic Centre for International Relations Students (CAERI-UERJ). Held between 23 and 29 August 2025, Rio Climate Action Week is an independent, non-partisan initiative dedicated to showcasing and mobilising climate action at all levels, with a focus on financing for large-scale delivery. Bringing together representatives from the public, private and voluntary sectors, along with financial institutions, philanthropic organisations and other agents, RCAW holds a series of events throughout the week to establish ambitions for delivery at the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30), to be held in Belém (PA) in November this year.
The OIMC’s 5th Cycle of Webinars is an initiative of the Interdisciplinary Observatory on Climate Change, organised by professors Ana Paula Tostes and Carlos R. S. Milani, in partnership with the Jean Monnet Chair at UERJ, the Laboratory for Teaching and Research in International Relations (LabRI-UERJ), the Climate and Society Institute (iCS), the Institute of Social and Political Studies (IESP-UERJ), the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences (IFCH-UERJ) and Rio Climate Action Week (RCAW).
