The Satellite Earth Observation Consortium (CONSEO) will host the fourth installment of its climate change series, “The Latest Scientific Research on Climate Change: Is the World Going Crazy? Is Earth Okay?” on October 23. The event will feature prominent Japanese scientists discussing the latest research on climate change, climate predictions, and current extreme weather events.
Experts Provide Insights on the Latest Climate Change Research
The Satellite Earth Observation Consortium (CONSEO) is a collaborative organization bringing together industry, academia, and government to promote policy recommendations and co-creation efforts using satellite earth observation. The upcoming event, the fourth in the series, will focus on climate change and offer a deep dive into global environmental issues from a scientific perspective.
In 2024, extreme weather events such as floods in Dubai and heat waves exceeding 50°C in India have become more frequent across the globe. In response, this event will feature leading Japanese scientists who will explain the latest climate prediction research and the role of weather satellites. Professor Masahiro Watanabe of the University of Tokyo will discuss the latest findings from the IPCC, while Takushi Kubota from JAXA’s Earth Observation Research Center will explain the role of satellites in climate prediction. Additionally, Masahiro Kazumori from the Japan Meteorological Agency will highlight the significance of satellites in weather forecasting.
In the latter half of the event, a panel discussion will address how individuals and society should approach climate change. The panel will include experts such as Professor Hisashi Nakamura and Professor Seita Emori from the University of Tokyo, who will engage in discussions on humanity’s response to climate change.
The event will be held both in person and online, and participation is free of charge. The in-person event is limited to the first 80 registrants. This is a valuable opportunity for those interested in climate change to gain insights from the latest research findings.
