Astrid Skjold

Researcher

I am a PhD candidate in International Relations/Political Science at the Geneva Graduate Institute. My PhD project “Floods, fires, and fervour: The unfolding politics of climate emergencies” looks at the political effects of climate emergency claims and of causally attributing specific disasters to anthropogenic heating.
