Ramon Arigoni Ortiz

As many have already pointed out, climate change is one of the biggest challenges of mankind this century.

Understanding its causes and consequences, and contributing to its mitigation is not only a challenge but a duty that scientists from different areas have with future generations.

For me, having the opportunity to contribute to this huge task is also a privilege."
