Living with climate change conference: Journalist and scholar Andrew Revkin on climate change

Climate journalist, scholar and Director of the Initiative on Communication Innovation and Impact at the Columbia Climate School, Andrew Revkin gave a wonderfully engaging keynote at the 2023 Living with climate change conference at the University of Bergen. 
 

8-9 May 2023 the CLIMLIFE research project at the University of Bergen organised the international conference Living with climate change which gathered over 100 participants from 19 countries, and over 50 paper presentations. Journalist and scholar Andrew Revkin gave a wholehearted keynote on climate communication, journalism and on connecting people. 

In the aftermath of the conference, Andrew Revkin posted a longer blog post which you can read here. 
 

– The University of Bergen in Norway has just wrapped a valuable two-day conference on “Living With Climate Change.”

The core focus? How to handle what seems like a deep contradiction: “While there is broad agreement on the urgent need for action to mitigate climate change, people must also go on living their daily lives, attending to their needs and interests of themselves, their families and their community.” (The first day stream is here.
