Climate Science, an increasingly important field for our own survival
Joyce Kimutai is a climate scientist based in Kenya. She investigates the connection between humans and extreme weather caused by climate change. Her work bridges the gap between legal practice and science, showing the causation between human activities and harm and damage from climate events.
Joyce works with the IPPC, the UN group (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). The legal system today is not built for dealing with responsibility and liability for climate events impact. Joyce works to help build this bridge.
