Research profile

How is climate change felt in the Nordic countries? Through fieldwork in flood-affected areas in Denmark, I have interviewed men, who have experienced floods in their homes or summer houses. Floods, that will only become more severe and frequent in the future due to global climate change. I investigate the connections between their ways of relating knowledge, risk perception, and experiences of floods to climate change along with the bigger discussion of, whether it should have consequences for our lifestyles in the Northern countries.
