Connections. They link us together. Make us stronger. Help us grow. Give us hope. Move us forward. The Earth and space science community is all about connection. A vibrant hive of research, discovery, action, and solution. Connections twist and move. They pivot unpredictably. They can challenge us, surprise us, and sometimes delight us. From the lab to the field to the ballot box, science depends on connection. At AGU25 we celebrate all the ways we connect. The purpose of what we connect. The power of how we connect. The promise of where we connect.

The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 30) will convene in November 2025 in Belém, Brazil.

The Columbia Climate School is pleased to once again host the Mobility and Resilience conference – the leading forum addressing climate mobility – in partnership with the Global Centre for Climate Mobility and the Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change. Every two years since 2019, hundreds of researchers, policymakers, and members of affected communities gather in New York to advance the discussion on a range of topics – from managed retreat to adaptation in place, from climate law to housing and insurance markets, from green infrastructure to resilience-building in all its forms.

The theme of #CZC2025 is: “Strengthening Coastal Resilience and Relationships”.

Recognizing the importance of sharing different perspectives, knowledge systems, experiences, and efforts within coastal zones, the focus of this year’s conference is relationships. Whether the relationships are with land, water, ice, wildlife, or humans, their strength and diversity are critical in building collective resilience.

IAGLR's 68th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research will feature four days of inspiring science centered around our theme Creating Great Lakes Resilience. The conference will be hybrid, so if you can't make it to Milwaukee, we invite you to join us online.

As with our own health, it is important to pause and reflect on how our decisions today will manifest in the environment tomorrow. For example, humans have a long history of inventing and producing durable materials (microplastics, PFAS). These persist and accumulate in the environment only to later discover, and be forced to manage, the unintended consequences. Successful management of these challenges depends upon an understanding of history, current state, and future goals, to move toward a sustainable future that works for all. Just as we make time to assess our personal health, it is critical that we do the same for our aquatic environment.

Climate change has dramatic implications for the world's water resources. Communities worldwide face worsening droughts, more frequent flooding, and rising sea levels. Warmer waters harm aquatic ecosystems and damage fisheries, while more than half the world's population faces water security challenges. Loyola University Chicago's 2025 Climate Change Conference will explore strategies for developing just solutions to the emerging water crisis. Speakers will discuss how people are working to protect water resources on global, regional, and local levels. The event will also provide opportunities for participants to become part of the solution and positively impact people and the planet.

Planning matters. Law matters. Property matters. These three simple messages inspire the growing PLPR community to examine the difficult relationship between public and private interests in the use of land.

We are excited to announce that the Second Full Team Annual Conference will convene on February 4th and 5th at the University of Michigan, following the first Full Team Annual Conference hosted by McMaster University. This event presents an opportunity for our research team to gather, work collaboratively across teams, share insights from ongoing initiatives, explore areas for further collaboration, and present research findings.

The Seventeenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses is brought together by a common concern for the science of, and social responses to, climate change. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. We invite proposals addressing one of the following themes or special focus:

Theme 1: The Nature of Evidence

Theme 2: Assessing Impacts in Diverse Ecosystems

Theme 3: Human Impacts and Responsibility

Theme 4: Technical, Political, and Social Responses

Arizona is navigating significant uncertainty around water availability, requiring local jurisdictions to fundamentally rethink water use and to assume new leadership roles. Historically, planning for water resources and land use have been conducted separately. Yet the way we build directly impacts our water supply and demand. Communities can “grow water smart” by collaborating to identify and implement strategies that resolve their water resource challenges.

This workshop brings water and land use decision makers in your community together as a team to collaborate on long-term water security. Gain or enhance a range of public engagement, planning, communication, and policy tools to ensure your team and the broader Verde Valley can realize its water conservation, watershed health, and community resilience goals.

Each year, AGU’s annual meeting, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, convenes 25,000+ attendees from 100+ countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists and communicators attend AGU24 to better understand our planet and environment, opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.

“Whītiki Taua” embodies the bond and collective strength within communities, while “Research Solidarities” emphasizes collaborative research endeavors within Indigenous contexts. Together, they symbolize the power of solidarity, knowledge sharing, and collective empowerment. Join us as we explore meaningful partnerships, uphold Indigenous perspectives, and work together to address common challenges.
