Understanding energy and environment in Ecuador: towards the identification of a jointly-developed research agenda.
The proposed knowledge exchange has the objective of providing an opportunity for addressing emerging global challenges in relation to climate change, adaptation to environmental shocks and to environmental change, resilience and sustainable resources, through sharing experiences in Ecuador.
The overall aim of the proposed programme is to identify means and research agendas for future partnership and collaboration around the country’s climate change strategy, addressing energy, sustainability and environment.
