Tackling Environmental Challenges
Parallel session 26A-TEC
Tuesday 26 October 13:00-17:30
Meeting room: Brainstorm
Under the umbrella Tackling Environmental Challenges this session collects transformative science areas all from environmental, atmospheric, climate to sustainability. The aim of the session is to together advance the ongoing TEC strategy work.
