Climate Change Research Group conference session sponsorship

The Annual International Conference will take place on September 1-4, 2026, at the Royal Geographical Society in London. This year, it will be chaired by Professor Peter Hopkins (Newcastle University, UK), with the Chair's theme being Geographies of inequalities: towards just places.

As usual, the Climate Change Research Group is keen to sponsor sessions, presentations, and activities at the conference. If you are planning to convene a session at the Society, please apply for sponsorship.

We accept panels on all topics related to climate change and are keen to have as many sponsored sessions as possible, to ensure they receive due prominence in what is likely to be a busy and exciting conference.

The deadline for session proposals is Friday 20 February.

If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please send the following information to Alexandre Gagnon (a.gagnon@ljmu.ac.uk) and Laurie Parsons (laurie.parsons@rhul.ac.uk):

  1. Title of session
  2. Name of co-sponsoring groups (if applicable)
  3. Name, affiliation, and contact details for session convenors
  4. Abstract outlining the scope of the session (300 words maximum, excl. references)
  5. Indication (if known) of the preferred format of the session
