“We are not talking about hypothetical events; what we are seeing is a world altered by climate change. And the impacts are widespread and consequential”
Christopher B. Field
Spanish dubbed version
Awarded the 6th Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Climate Change and Environmental Science, researcher Christopher Field analyzes in this interview the evidence of the increase in extreme weather events and their implications for the future of the planet. Field explains how climate models allow us to understand the relationship between human emissions and the increase in droughts, fires, and heat waves, and underscores the importance of adapting global policies to reduce risks and mitigate environmental impact. He also reflects on the need for coordinated action between science, policy, and society to address the challenges of climate change.
The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Laureate in the Climate Change category has gone in this sixth edition to U.S. biologist Christopher Field, for discovering the importance of ecosystems and their effective management in the battle against climate change.
