On December 9, AE Tbilisi Hub, in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Biodiversity Change, Ilia State University, and the Rewind Earth Initiative, organized the international seminar: Biocultural History and the Future of the Black Sea.
This interdisciplinary seminar brought together scientists studying the biological and cultural evolution of the region, as well as its ecological challenges.
Participants explored pressing environmental issues in the face of climate change and discussed innovative, interdisciplinary solutions that integrate modern technologies into scientific research.
The event echoed key discussions from the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), with a specific focus on the Black Sea region.
Academic Director of AE Tbilisi Hub, Prof. David Lortkipanidze, presented an overview of the region’s biocultural heritage and outlined his vision for addressing its challenges. His approach emphasizes both scientific research and public engagement, with AE Tbilisi Hub playing a central role in fostering awareness and action.
