SG | UNIVERSITY COLLEGE VENLO

This academic year, we are organising another series of six lectures in Venlo. The lectures at the University College Venlo will be in English. Dutch lectures will take place in Venlo’s city library. The SG Diary will only announce the English lectures, so check out the library’s programme to get the whole picture: www.bibliotheekvenlo.nl. First up at the library is a lecture by Wim Vriezen about future agriculture, on Tuesday 3 November.

Nature as an Ally in Tackling Climate Change

TUE 1 DECEMBER, 19:30
Lecture Hall, Nassaustraat 36, Venlo

Kevin van Sundert, PhD
Assistant Professor Ecology and Biodiversity, UM

Ecosystems such as forests and grasslands are currently slowing down climate change by compensating about a quarter of our CO2 emissions. Over the last half century, their CO2 uptake has actually increased. Can we expect this increase to continue over the next few decades, or will climate change itself threaten this land carbon sink?
