Programme
Together with presenter Lynn Zebeda, ISS researchers will reveal their eye-opening insights and share a story of high importance to us all. Through a set of interactive conversations we will get a glimpse into the bigger picture of climate change and environmental degradation, weaving together stories of extraction, geopolitical shifts, justice-based approaches and unseen climate impact. After hearing from the different researchers, the event will end with a dialogue on the alternatives that must be explored.
This gathering will be ISS at its finest: critical, based on real-world insights and through a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Climate veteran or newbie, this topic is relevant for us all and you are welcome to join!
