Introducing the First Speakers for the Research Initiative of Colombian Studies Seminar Series: Climate Change, Environment, and Water Edition

We are excited to announce the first set of speakers for our upcoming seminar series at Lund University, focusing on Climate Change, Environment, and Water. Join us for these insightful presentations from October 28th to November 15th, where we will explore cutting-edge research and innovations in water governance, climate change, and environmental resilience.
