Honored to speak! And excited that journalism and science communication had a seat at the table at #overshootconference at IIASA

At last week’s #OvershootConference at IIASA, Journalist in Residence, Lisa Palmer, along with science communicators Katharine Mansell, Holly Simpkin, and Marina Menga were tasked with gaining a better understanding of the narratives that can put the science into dialogue with a range of audiences.

On Thursday, the #OvershootConference turned to an urgent theme in the climate debate: Loss and Damage. Chaired by Elisa Calliari & Sindra Sharma, the session explored justice, finance, insurance, livelihoods, and adaptation in the context of climate overshoot.

Key takeaways in the thread below:
