Research assistant at the research project CLIMLIFE, Emil Perron, was interviewed by På Høyden about preparing the conference Living with climate change 8-9 May 2023.
The conference took place at the University aula and at Dragefjellet (Faculty of Law) with over 100 participants from 19 countries, and over 50 paper presentations.
The CLIMLIFE project sprung out of the research group LINGCLIM with Professor Kjersti Fløttum as spearhead and initiator. The overall question of the project was: "How do people relate the existential challenges of climate change to their usual life choices in their everyday life in Norway?"
In the interview, Perron speaks about the minutious preparations for the conference, his interest in the topic, his participation as a former student of the course KLIMA200 Climate stories at the Department of Foreign Languages.
