Climate Change Research Group
The Society's conference will take place from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29 August 2025 at the University of Birmingham. This year, it will be chaired by Professor Patricia Noxolo (University of Birmingham, UK), with the Chair's theme being Geographies of creativity/creative geographies.
As usual, the RGS-IBG Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) is keen to sponsor sessions, presentations and activities at the conference, so if you are planning to convene a session at conference 2025, please do submit an application for sponsorship.
We accept panels on all topics related to climate and environment and are keen to have as many sponsored sessions as we can, in order to ensure they receive due prominence in what is likely to be a busy and exciting conference.
The deadline for session proposals is Wednesday 26 February.
If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please add the following information to our Application for CCRG sponsorship Google form.
The form includes a template to include the following information. If all rows are filled, please feel free to add additional rows.
There is no limit to the number of applications for sponsorship, but the total number of sponsored sessions is expected to be twelve.
