As old as the weather
China DailyMajor archaeological projects and studies were given awards at the fifth Shanghai Archaeology Forum held recently in Shanghai. A recent archaeological forum seeks to connect past, present and future solutions to climate change, Wang Ru reports in Shanghai. The forum, organized by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Shanghai municipal government, under the theme "Archaeology of Climate Change and Social Sustainability", brought together about 200 professionals from 40 countries and regions. Ancient societies also faced substantial challenges brought by climate change and adopted diverse strategies to cope with and adapt to these changes. Natural climate archives and archaeological records help us model and predict how climate change can shape and transform our lives, helping us search for sustainable trajectories toward the future," the executive committee explains in an official statement.
