Catalyst or Threat? at Arctic Circle Rome Forum

Written by Centre for Climate Repair

Centre for Climate Repair's director, Shaun Fitzgerald, travelled to Rome this week for the Arctic Circle Rome Forum - Polar Dialogue. 

As well as listening to a variety of speakers, many of whom are leading authorities in Arctic regions, he took part in a discussion on Geoengineering: Catalyst or Threat? He said:

I am so grateful to Arctic Circle for hosting this plenary event. Good discussions on difficult topics are so important, and Katrin's chairing was masterful. It was fantastic to listen and learn from Dalee Sambo Dorough (Senior scholar, University of Alaska [UAA], USA) and Mark Symes (ARIA) about their work and perspectives.
