SRI2022 Calendar
SRI2022 Inkundlas
SRI Inkundlas are a series of four interactive and inspirational events organised every month leading up to the 2022 Sustainability Research and Innovation (SRI) Congress, to be held at the Future Africa Institute at the University of Pretoria, South Africa from 20-24 June 2022. The SRI pre-Congress Inkundlas aims to emphasise the collaborative, inclusive and engaging nature of the Congress, while honouring the traditions and culture of the 2022 host, South Africa.
SRI Inkundlas are curated conversations, each addressing one of the four 2022 Congress themes:
- New Horizons
- Different Ways of Knowing,
- Nexus Issues
- African Science and Innovation
These pre-events feature real-world transdisciplinary work, highlighting success stories in bringing together change-makers from multiple industries and disciplines and applying robust yet diverse knowledge to action. SRI Inkundlas will contribute to bridging the gap between research and practice, interpret and use a wide scope of knowledge, and effectively build impact coalitions to explore new horizons of innovation and transformation.

SRI Inkundla #3: Cascading Climate Impacts Social Simulation

SRI has partnered with the Centre for Systems Solutions to present an interactive social simulation with a focus on cascading climate impacts that explores the effects of climate impacts on food production, supply chains, and ultimately the consequences on climate mitigation, biodiversity, and health.
Cascading Climate Impacts is available as an interactive and immersive group simulation session, with follow-up discussion. The Cascading Climate Impacts Policy Simulation was created as part of the “CASCADES – Cascading climate risks: Towards adaptive and resilient European Societies” project, which was funded through the EU Horizon 2020 programme.
