On 18/04/2024 at 12:00 PM Professor Geert Buelens will be at JRC to give a conference as part of the Belgian Semester 2024 programme of events, in collaboration with JRC SciArt.
JRC colleagues are invited to attend the talk on site, and meet Professor Buelen in discussions facilitated also by JRC SciArt. More information to follow.
About the talk: Climate change seen as viewed from the perspective of 1972, the year of publication of the report of the Club of Rome on Limists to Growth. What was the public discussion fifty years ago? What green themes were discussed, or not, at that time? What have we forgotten of these discussions? How did they influence the climate movement and climate science? Geert Buelens will expound on this forgotten history, and ask us what went wrong?
