Climate Action Programme lecture by Herman Russchenberg

Pandora opened the box out of curiosity and the shock of experience made her close it again. Was that a smart thing to do? Again, we had a warmer year than the ones before and the extreme events to date are only a glimpse what’s in store. And we are only halfway up on the slope to the expected warming – that is: if we don’t step up with our climate action. What options are open to us? Should we open the box for a second time?

Herman Russchenberg is Pro Vice Rector Magnificus for Climate Action, one of the United Nations' sustainability goals. He is the figurehead of TU Delft's activities in this field, both for research and for education and valorisation. This takes shape within the TU Delft Climate Action Program, in which all faculties of the university work together to make a safer and fairer world possible. Climate risks are mapped out, adaptation methods are developed to arm ourselves against them, as well as mitigation techniques to combat global warming. Herman Russchenberg represents TU Delft in national and international forums on this theme.
