A few days before COP28 convenes in Dubai, we team up with the Oxford Climate Journalism Network to speak to Friederike Otto, Senior Lecturer in Climate Science at Imperial College and one of the leading climate scientists worldwide.
Dr Otto is one of the founders of the World Weather Attribution initiative. Founded in 2015 by Dr Otto and her colleague Dr Geert Jan van Oldenborgh, the project quantifies how climate change influences the intensity and likelihood of an extreme weather event using weather data and computer modelling, and often immediately in the aftermath of the event.
Dr Otto has authored the book Angry Weather and her work has been featured extensively in several global news organisations. In this seminar, she discusses how journalists can do a better job covering this year’s critical climate summit.
Dr Otto is in conversation with Mitali Mukherjee, Director of Journalist Programmes at the Reuters Institute.
~Introduction by Dr Marc Thompson, Governing Body Fellow of Green Templeton College and a Senior Fellow in Strategy and Organisation, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
~Expert comments from Diego Arguedas Ortiz, Associate Director of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network at the Reuters Institute, and Dr SanYuMay Tun, Research Fellow of Green Templeton College and the Lead for Education for Sustainable Healthcare in the Medical Sciences Division, University of Oxford
