Learn how universities are helping to shape climate policy around the world.
The International Universities Climate Alliance (IUCA), currently hosted by UNSW Sydney, invites you to register for an upcoming global online dialogue, Truth in Transition: Universities and the Climate-Policy Interface.
This final event in the 2025 Global Thematic Dialogue Series considers the role universities play at the intersection of climate research and policy. Universities serve as centres for research, innovation, collaboration and critical thinking, but also as authoritative voices to support global leaders, policymakers and industry in planning for and responding to climate change. In an age where misinformation and disinformation about climate science and institutional credibility are widespread, the impact of academic research on policy decisions often hinges on political receptiveness and public trust.
Be part of the conversation
The event will feature several ‘speed-talks’ followed by a wider discussion including attendees. When registering, you will have the opportunity to express interest in sharing a five-minute case study during the dialogue. Representation from a diverse range of disciplines is encouraged.
You can help shape a global perspective on the evolving relationship between academia and climate policy.
How to register
This online event is across two sessions, accommodating all time zones. Choose from Thursday 25 September, 10am–11am or 8pm–9pm (Sydney, AEST). You can select your preference when you register.
Register for a session to explore how effectively universities are influencing the climate policy agenda and impacting policy change.
