ComLab#2: Climate Research and European Green Deal (November 2020)
No doubt, addressing climate change and taking political action to mitigate its consequences requires fast action. Scientific research plays a crucial role in investigating anthropogenic climate change and in developing mitigation policies and climate-friendly technologies. The second edition of the „Communication Lab for Exchange between Research and Media“ (24 – 26 November 2020) was therefore dedicated to the European Green Deal and questions of effective communication of climate change.
Award-winning contributions
In January 2021, the top three contributions of the second round of the Communication Lab were honoured at an online awards ceremony.
The winning entries of the second Communication Lab impressed the jury with originality in the choice of topic and medium, as well as successfully intertwining scientific facts and storytelling.
