The Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation welcomes you to a new seminar series, Turbulent Times. The seminars are hybrid and will be held on Fridays between May and September from 13.00 – 14.00. All are welcome, you can join digitally or at the CET offices on the 4th floor of Christies gt 18.
We live in a turbulent world – paradoxically, we also seem to have decreasing capacity to deal with this turbulence. Climate change is rapidly shifting from a problem we can solve to a more chaotic era of consequences. Global coordinated action to mitigate and adapt seems less and less likely. How can we chart out a sustainable course amid this turbulence? The Turbulent Times seminar series is a space for us to take stock of the times that we are in. What spatial and temporal relations shape our ability to live and act in a meaningful way? What institutional capacities are needed? And how might we need to recalibrate research to make sense of it all?
- Seminar 1: Contested Futures - Battery Value Chains and the Spatial Politics of Green Transitions
- Speaker: Huiwen Gong, Associate Professor, University of Stavanger
- August 15 - Seminar 2: Governing turbulence: Challenges and strategies
- Speaker: Jarle Trondal, Professor, University of Agder
More seminar dates will be announced shortly.
The Turbulent Times seminars are convened by Håvard Haarstad, Jakob Grandin and Lars Coenen.
