Op 3 december lanceert Gents MilieuFront - GMF de klimaatlezing met experts Samuel Helsen en Lander Van Tricht. Samuel is klimaatwetenschapper aan de KU Leuven en heeft bakken expertise over extreme neerslag en polair klimaat. Samen met collega Lander, eveneens klimaatwetenschapper maar verbonden aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel, wil hij zo veel mogelijk mensen correct informeren over klimaatproblematiek.
Zak allen af naar de klimaatlezing in de Green Hub en kom meer te weten over feiten en gevolgen van klimaatverandering. Waarom verandert het klimaat en hoe? En wat zijn de effecten van het veranderende klimaat, naast de stijgende zeespiegel en minder gletsjers? Allemaal vragen waar je 3 december volmondig antwoord op krijgt!
Samuel en Lander werken voor NoodweerBenelux, het weerplatform bestaande uit meteorologen, copywriters en klimaatexperten die dagelijks content op sociale media en frequente weerupdates voorzien. Hun focus ligt op stormweer, onweer en sneeuwval, maar ook op extreme droogtes, koude of hitte. Noodweer Benelux is ondertussen uitgegroeid tot een van de grootste online communities in Europa op vlak van meteorologische informatie.
Deze klimaatlezing wordt mee gesteund door Sustainight, de wekelijkse duurzame dinsdagavonden van Green Office Gent.
Prijs: vrije bijdrage | Deuren: 19u00 | Lezing: 19u30 - 21u00 | Q&A: 21u00 - 21u30
