On Thursday, 8th of December, members of the D°GREES project team met for a joint workshop with Prof. Akihisa Mori, Associate Professor at Kyoto University's Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies (GSGES), and Reina Chinen, one of Prof. Mori's master's students. The goal of the workshop was to foster scientific exchange between the two universities. In addition, D°GREES research associate Solange Commelin will be visiting Prof. Mori at Kyoto University early next year to undertake research related to her PhD topic on the interactions between climate movements and corporate responses to climate change.

During the workshop, Prof. Dr. Anita Engels introduced the CLICCS B4 project and presented current research. Likewise, Prof. Mori presented his current research before the group engaged in a discussion about potential areas of future collaboration. Reina Chinen reflected on her experiences during her two-month research stay at University of Hamburg, where she supported the D°GREES project. Lastly, Solange Commelin provided insights into the upcoming research visit at Kyoto University.

The D°GREES team thanks Prof. Mori and Reina Chinen for the fruitful discussions and looks forward to exploring further avenues of future collaboration.
