Urban Spaces and Mosquitoes on a Changing Planet
The Urban Spaces and Mosquitoes on a Changing Planet Conference will bring together scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers to share and exchange their experiences and findings related to mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease connected to the natural, built and social features of urban environments. We hope to stimulate new thinking that can help in the planning, designing, and intervening in urban environments to help prevent the spread of mosquito-borne disease, especially in the context of anthropogenic climate change.
Date: March 23 – 25, 2023
Place: Barcelona, Spain
As a complex socio-ecological problem, mosquito-borne disease cannot be effectively addressed without insights and expertise from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives. While each urban system presents its own challenges, the processes of globalisation, mobility, and climate change make mosquito-borne disease a problem that transcends regional and national borders. Therefore it is important to bring together those working in and across different geographical and socio-ecological contexts to cross-fertilize ideas and insights.
There is no registration fee. Limited funding will be available to support travel expenses for selected speakers, on a case-by-case basis, with preference given to underrepresented countries. More details will be provided soon.
