Walter Leal Filho is a Professor at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany and Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, where he leads a set of international projects on matters related to sustainable development and climate change.Kathryn Adamson is a Lecturer in Physical Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Kathryn’s research is focused on long-term climate change in the Mediterranean and Arctic regions. She is a field-based scientist, with expertise in geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemical analysis. Her research examines the response of glaciers and river systems to changing environmental conditions during the Quaternary (the last 2.6 million years). These long-term records provide important context for our understanding of present and future climate change.
Rachel Dunk is a Lecturer at the School of Science and the Environment at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Her research interests are on carbon accounting methodologies; effective engagement in climate change mitigation and adaptation in the non-traded sector; distributional and equity considerations of climate change policy; terrestrial and marine carbon storage and the biogeochemistry of greenhouse gases.
Ulisses M Azeiteiro is a Professor at the Universidade Aberta and a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Functional Ecology of Coimbra University where he is the Coordinator of the Group History of Science, Scientific Communication and Dissemination.
