 plesignup.se/event/164887\nClimate change is here and we have to deal with 
 it. Observations give us evidence of what is happening, and science helps u
 s understand how we got here. Technology is available to address the proble
 m, and the investments needed to transform human activities are manageable.
  Yet, why have we not taken impactful actions? Why do governments keep talk
 ing about future goals, while they fail to put in place policies that can t
 rigger immediate and effective actions? In this talk, I will discuss these 
 aspects and how we can motivate a radical transformation.\nSpeaker: Profess
