Background and initiators

The ongoing climate change is a complex societal challenge that requires interdisciplinary research. In 2021, SLU’s Future Platforms and SLU Globaltherefore started a series of climate conversation webinars with the background of the IPCC reports, intending to increase the scientific conversation about climate change across disciplines at SLU.
