INQUIMUS workshop 2025 edition: Centering Justice in Climate Risk Management for Transformative Change

Ever intensifying climate-related risks are unevenly distributed within and across countries, potentially reinforcing existing injustices and leading to the emergence of adaptation limits globally. The 2025 INQUIMUS workshop, organized by the Equity and Justice (EQU) Research Group, thus aims to increase the understanding of inequities as root causes of vulnerabilities and risks, integrate justice considerations more explicitly in climate risk management (CRM), and exchange inter- and transdisciplinary methods and tools for its assessment to foster transformative change.

This in-person workshop will feature a variety of engaging formats, including keynote presentations, poster presentations, break-out discussions, and open-space conversations. We seek to support researchers, analysts, policy-advisors, and practitioners with concepts, methods and tools to increase the social- and political feasibility of transformative change in CRM.

We invite submissions from early-career to senior researchers, scientists, and practitioners engaged in inter- and transdisciplinary work – ranging from theoretical and methodological contributions to case studies and practice-based research. We are particularly interested in contributions that already study justice aspects in CRM or adaptation, as well as those seeking to explore transformative approaches and integrate justice considerations into research or practice. 

Please submit your abstract (max. 500 words) here by 07.07.2025, addressing motivation, relevance to the guiding questions, methods applied, results and insights, and conclusions.
