In late November 2020 a UNFCCC climate research dialogue examined the state of scientific knowledge on moving towards net zero global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, and building resilience to the unavoidable impacts and risks of climate change. Karen O’Brien, of the University of Oslo and cCHANGE, spoke about how to accelerate action for results on climate change through engaging with the practical, political, and personal spheres of transformation. This blog is based on the presentation given as part of the research dialogue.
