Dimitrios Anastasopoulos is a Year 10 student at Athens College and a CCIR alumnus. He has achieved an important milestone in his academic journey. His research paper, “Climate Change and The Vulnerability of National Economies: The Case of Egypt and Vietnam,” has been accepted at three international academic conferences.
These conferences are the International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC 2023), the 19th International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability, and the 15th International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses.
Dimitrios’ Research on Climate Change
Conducting research in high school can be challenging. Students may have limited experience, resources, and time. They also need mentorship to meet rigorous academic standards.
Despite these challenges, Dimitrios completed his research with determination and guidance from his mentors. His achievement reflects his commitment to academic research.
At the conferences, Dimitrios will present his findings and engage with leading researchers and stakeholders. These include professors from institutions such as the University of British Columbia, the University of Nottingham, and the University of Oslo.
Dimitrios’ Academic Achievements
Dimitrios has consistently shown a passion for learning. He has received academic excellence awards and high honours from Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. These include high honours in quantitative ability.
In addition, he has attended various summer schools and online courses. These experiences have helped him explore his academic interests further.
Research Through CCIR’s 1-on-1 Research Mentorship
At CCIR, Dimitrios joined the 1-on-1 Research Mentorship programme. With guidance from his professor mentor, he developed his research paper on climate change and national economies.
His study uses a descriptive approach. He collected and analysed data from credible reports and documents to examine the economic effects of climate change in Egypt and Vietnam.
The research compares the challenges faced by both countries. It concludes that the benefits of taking concrete, early action outweigh the economic costs of inaction.
