Introducing the Arctic Repair Conference 2025, Cambridge, UK

We are delighted to invite you to the Arctic Repair Conference 2025, a pioneering conference hosted by the Centre for Climate Repair, in association with the University of the Arctic.

ArcticRepair2025 will delve into innovative climate engineering techniques designed to combat the rapid changes taking place in the Arctic, such as the decline of the Arctic sea-ice, loss of ice from glaciers and other ice loss from land. 

This conference will address the scientific, ethical, political and social dimensions surrounding Arctic climate solutions, focusing on key themes such as Arctic climate modelling, the impacts and implications of Arctic amplification, engineering interventions and atmospheric effects.

The main themes of the Conference will be: 

  • Arctic Climate Modelling
  • Impacts, Implications & Consequences of Arctic Amplification
  • Engineering Systems
  • Atmospheric Effects

Solar geo-engineering is a band-aid, a thing we need to do to buy us time - Hugh Hunt

The primary purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for scientists and engineers to present and discuss recent research results and future research priorities. The techniques discussed do not replace the actions needed to reduce greenhouse gas levels; furthermore, many of these approaches may be applicable to other parts of the world as well. 

Call for Applications: Presentations and Posters

We encourage applications for presentations and posters in the following areas:

  • Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
  • Marine Cloud Brightening
  • Seabed Curtains
  • Sea Ice Thickening
  • Space Sun Shades
  • Other Arctic Repair Topics (e.g. glacier drainage, land surface albedo enhancement, cirrus cloud thinning, ocean foaming etc.) 

Submission Guidelines and Instructions

Abstract submissions should be limited to max. 300 words, and they should be accompanied by a short biography (max 200 words). Proposals must be in English and indicate which area(s) the abstract should be considered. The submission must include the applicant’s name, affiliation, and e-mail address. Please send Abstract submissions via email to conference@climaterepair.cam.ac.uk. 

Please include “Abstract Submission: Climate Repair Conference 2025” in the subject line of the e-mail. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 31 October 2024. Successful applicants will be informed by 30 November 2024. 

If successful, you will be asked to submit a concept paper (if you have proposed a paper) of around 2000 words by 1 March 2025.
