Join award-winning architect and environmentalist Duncan Stewart for a talk on the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions. He will discuss their impact on Earth's climate, the future of our youth, and biodiversity, along with potential solutions.
A pioneer in sustainable architecture, renewable energy, and nearly zero-carbon buildings, Duncan is a director of the Irish Environmental Network, Dublin Civic Trust, and Green Foundation Ireland. He also produces and presents RTE 1's 'Eco Eye' and 'About the House'.
Duncan founded Eco Ed 4 All, which develops environmental education for Irish schools and CPD courses for teachers. These cover critical themes like Climate Change, Biodiversity, Circular Economy, and UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Stark global temperature rise predictions and the urgent need for climate action are taking an immense emotional and psychological toll on scientists. Inspired by The Guardian's "Hopeless and Broken: Climate Scientists Despair," climate attorney Raya Salter and IPCC Lead Author Dr. Ruth Cerezo Mota discuss their personal experiences with this despair.
Dr. Cerezo Mota, a climatologist with over 15 years in climate modeling, shares her work's real-world impacts and the challenges of political resistance, funding, and public apathy. Despite these hurdles, her motivation fuels vital research.

Syukuro Manabe delivered his Nobel Prize lecture, "Physical modelling of Earth’s climate," on Wednesday, December 8, 2021. Professor Thors Hans Hansson introduced him.
Manabe shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics with Klaus Hasselmann. Their work was recognized for "physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming."
The prize, awarded for "groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems," also saw Giorgio Parisi receive the other half for his discoveries on disorder and fluctuations in physical systems.
Sir David King, former chief scientific adviser to the UK government (2013–2017), discussed the governance of Arctic climate-altering technologies with the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G).
