The local Scientist Rebellion group in Norway was awarded last Friday as the "Communicator of the year" by the science faculty of NTNU, for outreach work on climate change. I’m impressed that the university is recognizing an activist group using civil disobedience! I hope this means the conversation is moving to the right direction.
I was happy to get a chance to talk about climate activism as a scientist at the British Ecological Society annual meeting last week. I'm impressed that a workshop on activism was part of the official program of the conference, and how much interest there was in terms of taking action. Even though we still need to do a lot more to slow down the climate crisis, it's encouraging to see that the conversation is moving forward.
