Welcome to our second breakfast session with the theme Climate Science in the Media. Our breakfast sessions aims to function as a platform for journalists and scientists to exchange knowledge and experiences of working in fields that are becoming increasingly intertwined.
This session highlights what the general public would like to know about climate issues, and what media and researchers roles are in this, based on a new study from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. We will also offer exclusive insights from our latest research. To ensure inclusivity, the breakfast will be conducted in both Swedish and English.
