Karolina will talk about her work and research on emerging technologies that aim to address climate change. From proposals for large scale intervention into the climate system, to seemingly incremental advances in existing technologies, these geo-engineering approaches have migrated from the fringes of scientific research to be more centrally featured in policy and climate agreements. Karolina will talk about how arts and humanities can contribute to exploring their implications.
