Climate Action Transdisciplinarity in Education and Research

De siste tiårene har det blitt tydelig at mennesker på alle kontinenter er sårbare for ekstremvær og andre klimarelaterte påvirkninger. Verden må tilpasse seg raskt, men vi har selv sett at mange eksisterende klimatjenester i både Europa og Afrika mangler sosialt engasjement. Det er et presserend...
