Welcome to the official website of the International Conference on Climate Stress, Human Vulnerability, and Adaptive Governance: Interdisciplinary Perspectives in the Age of AI, which will be held on 16th – 17th April 2026 at Uttaranchal University in Dehradun, India.
Welcome to the Conference
Climate change is reshaping ecosystems, economies, and societies at an unprecedented pace. Rising environmental stress is not only a scientific concern but a profound social challenge affecting vulnerable communities, governance systems, and development pathways. As technological innovation advances, Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative tools for risk assessment, adaptive planning, and evidence-based policymaking.
