About Program







This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.



About the Lecture
The talk will cover the main issues that were the focus of the negotiations at the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, held at Baku in November 2024. It will provide a more in-depth account that goes beyond the media headlines, presenting the issues in the larger framework of the divide between the developed and developing countries in the pursuit of the science and policy for dealing with the challenge of global warming.. It will also discuss the challenges ahead and the clouds over multilateral efforts to deal with climate change.

இந்த உரை, நவம்பர் 2024-ல் பாகூவில் நடந்த COP29 மாநாட்டின் முக்கிய விவாதங்களை, வளர்ந்த மற்றும் வளரும் நாடுகளின் கருத்து வேறுபாடுகளை, மற்றும் பன்முக சூழல் நடவடிக்கைகளின் எதிர்கால சவால்களை ஆழமாக ஆராய்கிறது.
