This chapter brings to light that the academic world can benefit of the expertise of PhD students, long before their doctoral studies are declared to be officially finished. As we all know, there is an urgent need to implement solutions to the climate change challenge in a fast-changing world. The uniqueness of the Doctoral Program in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies (CCSDP) is that it is working in the field of advocacy and lobbying, in the field of public intervention and knowledge, international expertise, collaboration with other universities and research centers, and more. Students of this program produce articles, essays, chapters, and books on the theme of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Governance, even before having met the deadline of the actual PhD. Motivated students in particular and researchers in general can bring a valuable opinion to the community, already during their study. When being able to disseminate these writings and essays in communities beyond their close ones, a sincere contribution can be found to climate change research and action at large, as is shown in this chapter.

摘要

This chapter brings to light that the academic world can benefit of the expertise of PhD students, long before their doctoral studies are declared to be officially finished. As we all know, there is an urgent need to implement solutions to the climate change challenge in a fast-changing world. The uniqueness of the Doctoral Program in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies (CCSDP) is that it is working in the field of advocacy and lobbying, in the field of public intervention and knowledge, international expertise, collaboration with other universities and research centers, and more. Students of this program produce articles, essays, chapters, and books on the theme of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Governance, even before having met the deadline of the actual PhD. Motivated students in particular and researchers in general can bring a valuable opinion to the community, already during their study. When being able to disseminate these writings and essays in communities beyond their close ones, a sincere contribution can be found to climate change research and action at large, as is shown in this chapter.
