Sabine Undorf from the Working Group 'Adaptation in Agricultural Systems' convened a session on 'Attributing climate change, extreme events, and their impacts: quantifying contributions from external forcing, internal climate variability, and/or other drivers' and in another session, she presented joint work with Monika Undorf on 'Increased climate change mitigation and adaptation intentions through learning about an event attribution result for the 2021 European floods'

Further presentations from the Working Group included 'Attributed and projected climate change impacts on maize yield in Cameroon as mediated by heat-tolerance adaptation' by Lennart Jansen and 'Human-induced climate change has decreased wheat production in northern Kazakhstan' by Paula Romanovska as well as 'Attributing child undernutrition from agricultural shocks to climate change in Burkina Faso' by Asya Dimitrova, Rahel Laudien, Anna Dimitrova, Sabine Undorf, and Jillian Waid and several Posters on site.

Christoph Müller, Leader of the Working Group 'Landuse and Resilience' convened a session on 'Modeling agricultural systems under global change' in which Felicitas Beier presented on 'Multiple Cropping in global-scale Land-Use Models and the role of Irrigation' and Marie Hemmen (online/PICO) on: 'How to simulate canpoy temperatures in a global, process-based model?' and Jens Heinke presented a Poster.

Tobias Conradt presented a Poster, which was highlighted by the conveners on 'Drought or high temperatures: which is the main threat to agricultural yields in Central Europe'.
