2016 UNU-GEST alumni blogsites published: Climate change and sustainability

Vatnajökull, Iceland and Europe's largest glacier

The group of four students from the UNU-GEST 2016 alumni have published articles on climate change and sustainability with focus on the environment, tourist industry and local communities.

The perspectives discussed are in relation to the alumni’s field trip to the fishing town of Höfn in south-east Iceland for the gender and climate change module, in which students attended climate change seminars, presented their research on relevant projects and visited Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, in order to experience the physical effects of climate change and the repercussions this has on local communities, with specialised focus on gender perspectives.
