‘Climate Change: Science and Policy’ Lecture by Mario Molina, Nobel Prize in Chemistry

In his lecture ‘Climate Change: Science and Policy’, Mario Molina shares the story of the work which led to his Nobel Prize. He was instrumental in showing that CFCs damage the ozone layer and campaigned to ensure a worldwide ban was put in place. The lecture was delivered at the University of Minnesota, and offers insights into the current challenge of limiting climate change.

This event was part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII), a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the Laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. The NPII in St. Paul was delivered in partnership with 3M.
