Hosted by the Department of Environmental Science at Tezpur University under the aegis of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the two-day conclave aimed to catalyze the development of innovative solutions tailored to the region’s unique climate challenges. Dr. Anita Gupta, Head of the Climate, Energy and Sustainable Technology (CEST) Division at DST, underscored the urgency of addressing climate change issues by highlighting the importance of the “5 E’s”: ecology, environment, economy, ecosystem, and energy.

The conclave served as a platform for scientists, academicians, policymakers, and experts to exchange knowledge and ideas on mitigating climate change-induced impacts such as habitat loss, declining crop yields, and altered water cycles. A book titled ‘Compendium on Climate Change: Adaptation and Resilience in Northeast India’ was released during the event, showcasing the collective efforts of stakeholders in understanding and addressing climate change in the region. Prof. K.
