Our
foundation is collaborating in the organisation of the 'Regional Online
Workshop - Research Ethics in the Face of Climate Change'
This meeting will take place on 19 November from 10 to 11.30 a.m. (ARG) and will bring together members of research agencies involved in the formulation of research policies at the national level, as well as South American authors selected for the next IPCC report.
The aim is to exchange perspectives on the ethical challenges posed by research in the context of climate change and to explore the role of bioethics as a guiding framework for climate justice and responsible knowledge production.
The workshop is part of the international project 'A case of co-production of ethical standards for climate health research with members of grassroots women's organisations in South America', led by Romina Rekers at the University of Graz (Austria), with the support of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Coordinated and moderated by: Lucas Rekers y Marcia Videla Ayala.

We are especially grateful for the sponsorship of the Oxford-Johns Hopkins Global Infectious Disease Ethics Collaborative (GLIDE) and the support of the Bioethics Program - FLACSO, FWF Austrian Science Fund, The Degrees Initiative, and Instituto Gioja (UBA), whose backing has been essential to the realization of this event.
