Sir David King is a Professor of Physical Chemistry from the University of Cambridge. He served as Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government and later as Special Representative for Climate Change. He is the Founder and Chair of the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge and his recent work involves raising awareness on the climate change crisis to global stakeholders.
During this interview, he talks about the importance of international collaboration among the scientific community to have a real impact. To him it is also the only way to tackle global challenges, like the climate crisis, which he describes as the biggest existential challenge to humanity ever. This threat also means to involve the political community to lead a massive worldwide effort in science, engineering and social science over the next ten years.
