With Scientists issuing a final warning to save the world from ‘Climate Catastrophe’ in a special report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018, the future of our planet is looking increasingly uncertain. News of a rising tide of plastic pollution, increasing sea levels, shrinking coral reefs, the extinction of species, homes, habits and land….so what are we doing about it, and how can individuals and organisations play their part in the solution?

Come and join us on World Environment Day 2019 at The Waterfront Museum to find out about the funding that is available to support collaborative research and development and some of the measures your organisation can take to become more sustainable. Opportunities to network and pitch your business’ environmental challenges.

Hear how scientists at Swansea University are collaborating with partners across the world on a range of research, from understanding the scale and effects of climate change through to developing new technologies and solutions to support a more sustainable future. From understanding the effects and scale of climate change to developing sustainable homes that can power themselves, technologies to turn plastics in to hydrogen fuel for cars and to store solar energy and mitigate CO2 emissions.

Open to all and free to attend.

Wrth i wyddonwyr gyhoeddi’r rhybudd olaf o ran achub y byd rhag ‘Trychineb Hinsawdd’ mewn adroddiad arbennig a gyhoeddwyd gan y Panel Rhynglywodraethol ar Newid Hinsawdd (IPCC) yn 2018, mae’r dyfodol ar gyfer ein planed yn edrych yn gynyddol ansicr. Newyddion am lanw cynyddol o lygredd plastig, lefelau’r moroedd yn cynyddu, riffiau cwrel yn lleihau, difodiant rhywogaethau, cartrefi, cynefinoedd a thir….felly beth ydyn ni’n mynd i’w wneud amdani, a sut gall unigolion a sefydliadau chwarae eu rhan yn yr ateb?

Ymunwch â ni ar Ddiwrnod Amgylchedd y Byd 2019 yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau i ddysgu mwy am yr ariannu sydd ar gael i gefnogi ymchwil a datblygiad cydweithredol a rhai o’r mesurau y gallwch chi a’ch sefydliad eu gweithredu er mwyn dod yn fwy cynaliadwy. Bydd cyfleoedd i rwydweithio ac i gyflwyno heriau amgylcheddol eich busnes.

Clywch sut mae gwyddonwyr ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe’n cydweithio â phartneriaid ar draws y byd ar ystod o ymchwil, o ddeall graddfa ac effeithiau newid hinsawdd i ddatblygu technolegau ac atebion newydd i gefnogi dyfodol mwy cynaliadwy. O ddatblygu cartrefi cynaliadwy sy’n gallu creu eu pŵer eu hunain, i dechnolegau i droi plastig yn danwydd hydrogen ar gyfer ceir, ac i storio ynni solar ac i liniaru allyriadau CO2.
