Independent journalism at the University of Twente
NewsAs she’s stopping by at ITC to work on connections between the faculty and her hometown University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, Debra Roberts (1961) - awarded honorary doctorate at the University of Twente in 2022 - still has time for a chat on the current challenges around the world in terms of climate action.
NewsTijdens een kort bezoek aan de faculteit ITC, waar ze werkt aan uitwisseling tussen haar thuisuniversiteit in KwaZulu-Natal in Zuid-Afrika, maakt Debra Roberts (1961) – in 2022 tot eredoctor benoemd aan de UT - graag tijd vrij om te praten over de mondiale uitdagingen rond klimaatactie.
Honorary DoctoratesDebra Roberts (1961) could be described in many ways. She is an influential figure in the field of climate change adaptation, a government official in South Africa and one of the Co-Chairs of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); but what truly illustrates the person she is, is her reaction to receiving the honorary doctorate at the UT. ‘This honorary degree should go to my parents.’
Honorary DoctoratesDebra Roberts (1961) kan op vele manieren beschreven worden. Ze is gezaghebbend op het gebied van klimaatadaptatie, werkt voor de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering en is een van de vicevoorzitters van het Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Maar wat haar pas écht karakteriseert, is haar reactie op het eredoctoraat dat haar werd toegekend door de UT. ‘Dit eredoctoraat zou eigenlijk naar mijn ouders moeten gaan.’
