Expert exchange
Deutsches Klima Konsortium (DKK) Brown Bag Lunch
ERI contributes to the DKK Brown Bag Lunch series as a space for informal expert exchange on current climate policy, science and implementation challenges.

Guangzhou · China
Zero Carbon Prosperity Conference – HUST Guangzhou
ERI contributes to the development of a multidimensional framework for zero-carbon prosperity and supports the design of the associated international dialogue process in Guangzhou.
Our work focuses on connecting systems analysis, decision pathways and implementation logic so that transformation can be discussed not only as a long-term vision, but as a sequence of concrete choices.
Afghanistan
Voices from the ground – Afghanistan
ERI works with Afghan partners on climate resilience under conditions of high vulnerability, limited institutional capacity and recurrent climate extremes.
The work brings together local knowledge, climate risk, governance realities and practical adaptation options to identify pathways that are both context-specific and implementable.
Facilitation
Moderation & Strategic Dialogue
ERI moderates and facilitates international expert and policy discussions where climate, resilience and transformation issues require structured exchange across disciplines and institutions.
