The last decades, we have been witnessing dramatic human-induced earth system changes, the most notable being climate change, but also biodiversity loss, pollution, acidification of the oceans, deforestation and the overexploitation of non-renewable resources. Furthermore, more than half of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas. This increasing urbanization has social and economic advantages, such as better education, health care, sanitation, housing, but also significant consequences on the environment, our lifestyle and well-being.
Acknowledging the importance of global changes, the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia and Nord University organized the 1st International Joint Conference on Global Change took place in Košice, in May 2017. Now, the 2nd International Joint Conference on Global Change (NordGlobal2019) will take place in Bodø, Norway.

Session 1: Responsible Sustainable Food Production and Climate Change
