IWES Team attends Berlin Science Week Event on Climate Resilience in Central Asia

We are delighted to share that Innovative Water & Environmental Solutions (IWES) participated in the Berlin Science Week 2024 event, “Climate Resilience in Central Asia: Tradition Meets Innovation.” Held at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) and accessible online, this one-day event brought together experts and innovators to discuss solutions for Central Asia’s unique climate challenges.

The event featured a range of sessions, each emphasizing practical, research-backed methods for building climate resilience in Central Asia: Transboundary Climate Cooperation, Low-Carbon Architecture and Traditional Design, and Climate Change Impacts on Indoor Environments.

Our founder and lead scientist, Dr. Abror Gafurov, contributed to the panel discussion on integrating traditional knowledge with modern climate science, joining distinguished panelists Prof. Dip. Ing. Eike Roswag-Klinge and Prof. Dr. Martin Welp. This engaging panel explored methods of climate adaptation and mitigation, particularly in the areas of water management and sustainable design, with a special focus on balancing traditional approaches with cutting-edge technology to address the climate needs of Central Asia.

We extend our gratitude to the organizers for this inspiring event, which underscored the power of combining traditional knowledge with scientific innovation. A special thanks to Dr. Bonu Azizova for organizing and inviting us to participate in such a valuable symposium.
