Kai Kornhuber, Senior Research Scholar in the Integrated Climate Impacts Research Group of the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program, will deliver a keynote at Humboldt University of Berlin's upcoming Fragile Lives 2024 expert conference.
Fragile Lives 2024 is an international expert conference on the use of rigorous, scientific evidence for the development of knowledge-based policy interventions in fragile, conflict-affected, and under-developed scenarios. The event is organized jointly by the Zero Hunger Lab of Humboldt-University of Berlin with IRI THESys and Leibniz Institute of Vegetables and Ornamental Crops (IGZ), and will focus specifically on how polycrises shape individuals, institutions, and interventions at the micro-level and the policies that can boost resilience and coping capacities in the context of these shocks.
Participants will examine the drivers, dynamics, and impacts of polycrises spanning violent conflict, humanitarian emergencies, and the climate crisis across three themes:
- Lives and Livelihoods - How do people respond to and cope with poly-crises around the world?
- Achieving Zero Hunger - How do we best increase food security in poly-crises?
- Peace and Prosperity - How can rigorous evidence inform the design of effective peacebuilding measures?
