Welcome to One Climate blog! Being a climate enthusiast myself, I found it hard to keep up with the scientific jargon and constantly changing news cycles. I wanted to create a space where anyone of any literary background can come to enhance their knowledge of the past, present, and future climate movement. I am a current Masters student in the faculty of Environment, hoping to share the knowledge I learn and come across in an accessible manner. I’m so excited to share!
