Climate change is a crisis that we as a global community will face some through career, some through personal choices. Building on what you heard in the interdisciplinary discussion, how might you choose to address this challenge in your own life? I say this with shame: I am neither an expert in the subject of climate change, nor as passionate as I should be. What is more, I do not aspire to address the crisis through my career choice. However, as I am aspiring to work in the field of human rights protection, I believe that the field has an inevitable connection with climate change. For instance, we hear of plenty of cases today where natural resources, which must belong to the indigenous communities and stay otherwise untouched, are being invaded by corporates, governments, insensitive tourists, etc. In that respect, I feel obligated to become more knowledgeable and passionate on the subject. I would choose to address the issue in my own life partly through my career choice and partly from my individual actionsattending panel discussions, participating in solidary demonstrations, taking relevant courses, etc. This situation poses an especially grave problem to the global community, because, as mentioned in our interdisciplinary discussion, the recent US election has turned the direction of climate politics most notably in cases of North Dakota Standing Rocks. The changed climate politics has erupted lots of protests and solidarity demonstrations. In preparation for the possible consequences of these political choices, I believe that encouraging dialogues is importantespecially ones where different perspectives come together, like in our interdisciplinary discussion with diverse speakers. Having such conversations is important because they remind the importance and urgency of the issue. Many do not see the imminent danger of the climate change, understandably because they do not see any problem in their life at the very moment. But it is also true that there are communities all over the world who have been profoundly affected by the climate change. By listening to their pleas and perspectives, more people can understand and grow compassion for the issue and for those affected by the issue. On the other hand, I also believe that education of the current and future generations on the subject is extremely important. Raising awareness of the issue and relevant scientific facts. In order to emphasize and raise awareness of this importance, inside UW community, I would like to establish and work on project that
