Esmeralda Colombo: Climate Risk
Esmeralda Colombo har f氓tt st酶tte til to prosjekt gjennom CET Accelerator. Begge ga henne muligheten til 氓 bygge nettverk og formidle forskning.
Main content
Esmeralda Colombo var stipendiat ved UiB da hun v氓ren 2019 fikk st酶tte til sitt f酶rste CET Accelerator-prosjekt. Med Climate Risk and Sustainable Performance s酶kte Colombo 氓 finne ut av hvordan man som ung forsker kan bygge nettverk.
Resultatet ble konferansen Investing in our future, divesting from our past: From Climate risk to climate opportunity, en artikkel og en prosjekts酶knad til Forskningsr氓det.
Seed fundingen jeg fikk fra CET Accelerator februar 2019 muliggjorde noe som ved f酶rste 酶yekast virker umulig for en ung, kvinnelig forsker: 脜 starte et internasjonalt nettverk, organisere en konferanse, og ta momentet videre inn i en prosjetks酶knad til Forskningsr氓det. Jeg er veldig takknemlig for denne muligheten!
Climate Risk and Democratic Energy Policies
Colombo fikk st酶tte til et nytt prosjekt h酶sten 2020, denne gangen under CET Accelerator Ideas and communication. Prosjektet听Climate Risk and Democratic Energy Policies hadde som m氓l 氓 kommuniere forskningens rolle i 氓 depolarisere og demokratisere energipolitikk.
Prosjektet resulterte i en podcast p氓 tre episoder:听听ClimatenergyTalk! ble laget i samarbeid med Klimafestivalen 搂112, og er publisert p氓 CETs podcast-side.

ClimatenergyTalk!
The years 2020 and 2021 have shown how the role of scientists is all the more important. During Klimafestivalen 搂112 Bergen 2021, the Center on Climate and Energy Transformation at the University of Bergen (CET) launched a听series of three podcasts on听Climate Risk and Democratic听Energy听Policies:听Climatenergy Talk!听The听podcast series aims to communicate to the larger public on the role of science - the social and natural sciences - for depolarizing and democratizing听energy听policies.听The series is听endorsed by the听Norwegian Climate Foundation听and听Juridika Innsikt. Creator and host is Esmaralda Colombo, Producer is Mainstream AS.
Episode 1;听Epistemic Communities: The Role of Scientists for Deep Decarbonization.
The first episode is on听Epistemic Communities: The Role of Scientists for Deep Decarbonization, hosting philosopher Associate Professor Kjetil Rommetveit. Kjetil takes us onto a journey to discover听how social and natural scientists are working together across sectors to support policy making鈥攐ften to better up national and global climate politics, and offer new perspectives, or imaginations, on reality.听To this听point, he is the editor of the book 'Post-truth Imaginations' forthcoming for Routledge in 2021.
Episode 2:听The Climate听Casino: Drilling Down on the Norwegian Climate Change Case
The second episode focuses on the economic analyses for expanding the petroleum industry in the Norwegian Arctic, which constituted one of the objects of controversy in the one and only lawsuit ever filed in climate change matters in Norway,听People v Arctic Oil. The government's economic analyses on the expansion of the听petroleum industry听became controversial as independent experts showed that drilling in the Arctic can be socially unprofitable for the Norwegian society.听The name of this second episode听is听The Climate听Casino: Drilling Down on the Norwegian Climate Change Case, hosting the two expert witnesses in the case, Prof. Mads Greaker and Prof. Knut Einar Rosendhal, who collaborated with lawyers and wrote a landmark report.
Episode 3:听The Green Tumbling: Can Sustainable Finance Combat Climate Change?
The third episode,听The Green Tumbling: Can Sustainable Finance Combat Climate Change?,听delves into sustainable finance with听Lisa Sachs, the Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment in New York City. So-called "sustainable investment" funds grew in both number and value over 2020, as the real economy shuddered from the effects of COVID-19. At the same time, a growing number of companies, investors and banks are making net-zero commitments, while financing for fossil fuel infrastructure continues to grow. Lisa will help us understand these trends, how to decipher meaningful commitments and action from greenwashing, and what steps are needed to align the financial sector with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.听
