The Bjerknes Center and its partners; the University of Bergen, the Nansen Center, NORCE and the Institute of Marine Research, are collaborating on a new podcast that started earlier this fall. A total of seven episodes have been recorded so far at UiB in Media City Bergen. Currently, the podcasts have been in Norwegian, but soon English-language episodes will be produced. In these, Stephen Outten from the Nansen Center will be a moderator.

The last two episodes have focussed on the climate negotiations in Katowice, Poland. In these, you can hear what the directors Tore Furevik and Sebastian H. Mernild from Bjerknessenteret and Nansensenteret respectively, have to say about what is being discussed under COP24 and how the Norwegian and Danish climate debate is developing. In the latest episode, climate directors discuss climate adaptation and why they are optimistic on behalf of humanity.
