Meet a researcher: The pain, care and hope around climate change

The devastating impacts of climate change are unfolding in wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and droughts in Sweden and worldwide, as well as in growing anxiety and trauma, particularly among the younger generation. 

It’s high time we face the pain of the irreversible damage humanity has caused to the climate, and also rethink what we care for, what we can still save, and what we can turn around. In this talk, Dr. Avit Bhowmik will summarize the past eight years of his research to show why we should be worried, but also why we should be hopeful. He will bring fresh perspectives from COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, as well as from previous COPs, and is looking forward to discussing how we all can make a difference in our roles as researchers, teachers, administrators, parents, and humans.
