Bachelor students from twelve different disciplines (VU and UvA) conducted case studies on 'planetary health' themes in September and October. They presented the total of nine case studies on October 17 at ARTIS, in the historic lecture hall of 'De Volharding,' to a mixed audience of students, scientists, and other visitors. The audience of fifty attendees voted on the best contribution for the Planetary Health Award 2023.
Justus Baranauskas examined the influence of film on the climate crisis. On the one hand, he explored the impact of film on society, such as informing the public and inspiring action. On the other hand, he looked at the climate consequences of film production.
VU Amsterdam congratulates Justus on this award and thanks all those involved for their work, especially the participants for sharing their transdisciplinary lessons, for remaining sprightly and for taking action on Planetary Health.
