22 Nov - FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar: Microbial Impact of Climate Change

View in your browser

Dear {contact.first_name},

The next installment in the FEMS Webinar series is just over 1 week away on 22 November! This day is significant for two reasons:

It is the last day of COP29 UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, so make sure to learn all about the microbial impacts of climate change as the world negotiates the future of our response to the climate crisis.
22 November 2024 is the 50 Year Anniversary of the founding of FEMS! So join us to celebrate our birthday as we plan for the next 50 years...

We hope you can make this exciting session. Registration is free, so please spread the word amongst your networks! Full details below.

Best regards,

Joseph Brooks Shuttleworth, Marketing & Communications Manager

FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Microbial Impacts of Climate Change

Join us for the FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Microbial Impacts of Climate Change, an enlightening exploration into the pivotal role of microbial communities in our evolving climate. This session will explore the latest research uncovering how microorganisms in diverse ecosystems—from urban canals to Arctic coastlines—are responding to and influencing environmental changes.

Discover the significant impacts microbes have on greenhouse gas dynamics and ecosystem transformations, shedding light on potential strategies for mitigating climate change impacts. This webinar is tailored for microbiologists, students, and environmental enthusiasts eager to connect microbial activity with global environmental shifts. The timing is significant, as this webinar is due to be broadcast as the last day of the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly known as COP29, takes place.
