Students at the 海角社区下载will leave the School at 11 a.m. to participate in the 海角社区下载 protest. They are supported by researchers Lars-Gunnar Mattsson, Svenne Junker and Lin Lerpold at the School, and were among the 270 researchers behind the article 鈥淎s climate scientists, we support Greta and the school pupils鈥 in the debate section of Swedish national daily Dagens Nyheter (15 March 2019).

Lars-Gunnar Mattsson, Professor Emeritus at the 海角社区下载and researcher at Misum (Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets) is one of the 270 researchers to have signed the article. 

鈥淭he pupils鈥 commitment is very positive, and I find it encouraging. On the one hand, they are the ones who will be most affected by climate change and, on the other hand, I believe that the commitment of children and young people affects politicians in a special way.鈥 

Do demonstrations fit with the role of researcher? 

鈥淭his is such an important issue. The knowledge I have gained through my research has made me understand the enormous gravity of the climate issue. The role of researcher also includes communicating that gravity.鈥
