About the session

Across the world, we are witnessing accelerating ecological disruptions rising temperatures, extreme weather events, collapsing biodiversity, and deepening pollution. Scientists warn that humanity has crossed, or is dangerously close to crossing, several planetary boundaries that regulate the stability of earth’s systems. At the same time, we face a ​“triple crisis” of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution that is reshaping economies, ecosystems, and everyday life, particularly for vulnerable communities.

This session will unpack what these planetary shifts mean in structural terms. What happens to economic systems built on extraction? How do governance institutions respond to ecological limits? What does this moment demand from public policy, science, and citizenship?

The discussion will also highlight ongoing work on democratising climate projections  making insights derived from CMIP6 climate models accessible, transparent, and actionable. By translating complex climate data into formats that communities, researchers, and policymakers can engage with, the session will explore how climate science can move beyond technical reports and become a shared public resource for building informed, equitable, and resilient futures.

Who should attend?

This webinar is especially relevant for final-year undergraduate students and recent graduates in environmental science, climate studies, economics, geography, public policy, engineering, social sciences, and related disciplines who are thinking about careers or further study in climate and sustainability.

If you are trying to understand how climate science connects to real-world decision-making, policy, and development pathways and how you might position yourself meaningfully in this space this session will offer both conceptual clarity and practical insight.
