Registered participants get a lunch wrap. Bring your own cup for something to drink, warm clothes and a warm smile!

This time we have a guest lecture by Alasdair Skelton. Alasdair is a geologist working on climate at the Bolin Centre for Climate Research. He is also the chairperson and one of the most active members of the non-profit organisation Researchers Desk. The organization's goal is to spread public education about the climate, ecosystems, and societal developments. They work towards this goal by creating meeting spaces between the general public and experts researching these issues. They frequently work with climate activists and can be seen on any bigger climate strikes in Stockholm.

Working at the Researchers Desk Alasdair has big experience in outdoor lectures, and during the Green Walk, he will give the latest version of a lecture around key climate crisis-related issues. The lecture will be built around 5 sentences which define the climate crisis:

1. It’s warming.
2. It’s us.
3. We’re sure.
4. It’s bad.
5. We can fix it.

The questions come from Nicholas, K. (2021) Under the Sky We Make. We will stop at 5 locations, and I would take one part at each location.

In case of a bad weather, the lecture can be moved inside.

About:

Climate Action Lectures are walk&talks led by researchers. Participants will have a lunch wrap and a coffee for the initial lecture and enjoy the beauty which we live in while walking. Along the way we discuss some open-ended questions regarding the current topic.

The project is organised by KTH Students for Sustainability/Klimatstudenterna KTH  in collaboration with the KTH Climate Action Centre , with funding from KTH Innovation .
