Swedish Higher Education Act of 1977 introduced 3 tasks universities should perform. It said that alongside education and research, academia should reach the wider public and decision-makers. This is its “third task”. To share knowledge and stimulate conversations. To safeguard our future.
Clearly, the long-known insights about the climate crisis, its systemic causes, and potential solutions were not communicated efficiently enough. Otherwise, we would not have to live through it.
The Third Task project led by Klimatstudenterna aims to change it. It is an attempt made by students to bring academic conversations and diverse perspectives, now largely contained behind the university doors, to the wider public and decision-makers.
In March and April this year we have recorded 12 conversations in which students and researchers tackle various climate crisis-related issues – from systemic causes behind the problems to potential solutions and challenges in implanting them. Perspectives of young activists, educators, engineers, philosophers, economists, public health specialists and more can be heard in these conversations.
7 of the conversations are already published. We will use this channel to share them with you, one by one, announce future uploads, and keep you updated on the events coming in the nearby future.
