DEEPTI’S RESEARCH DISPATCH
Researching to Find My Place in the Climate Movement
How I’m planning my research deep-dive for the quarter
I’m told it’s 2022 already (what! it’s FEBRUARY?), and I’m planning a major push to deepen my climate change education.
Though I’ve been interested in environmental matters since childhood, I only started trying to stay informed about the climate space recently. I want to build a strong foundation from scratch and learn all the relevant concepts, news developments, and terminology.
Words and phrases like Paris Agreement, Green New Deal, and COP26 go by in the headlines, I do my best to keep up with the developments, but I also like to go deeper after the fact. Reading the original agreements and reports can be fun because:
A] It makes me feel cool.
B] I’m looking for opportunities to get involved, and I want to know what initiatives are likely to come down the pike.
C] I want the complete picture, not just the parts that get the most circulation.
Here is where I’m collecting the past research I’ve done related to climate change and sustainability.
