This video interview was conducted within the framework of Social Lab 5: Fresh Waters and Oceans, part of the RE4GREEN project. The Social Lab focuses on the critical role of oceans and freshwater systems in maintaining climate stability, protecting biodiversity, and supporting resilient and sustainable communities. Addressing these challenges requires innovative governance approaches, scientific collaboration, and careful consideration of ethical dimensions linked to the green transition.
In this interview, Karla Nahuelpán (PhD student, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) speaks with Janire Salazar, a PhD researcher at the Institut de Ciències del Mar (Barcelona), Department of Marine Biology and Oceanography.
