from Intervention - a podcast from the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory · host intervention

Scholar-activist Kevin Anderson, professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester and Uppsala University, provides a quantitative analysis of the response to the climate emergency that, simply put, does not add up relative to the dangers of climate disruption. In conversation with EHL Director Rob Gioielli, Prof. Anderson also discusses climate justice, the role of scientists, and structural factors that continue to impede efforts to reduce emissions despite the Paris Agreement’s adoption a decade ago.
