Climate Lectures
The Bolin Centre for Climate Research is named in honour of Professor Bert Bolin, former Professor of Meteorology at Stockholm University
Bert Bolin was a leader in climate and carbon cycle research and one of the founders of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. To honour Professor Bolin, the Faculty of Science at Stockholm University established the annual Bert Bolin Climate Lecture in 2008, shortly after Bert Bolin had passed away. Every year, a distinguished Bert Bolin Climate Lecturer is invited to Stockholm to hold a popular science lecture and a science seminar at the Bolin Centre for Climate Research.
