Isabel Giménez, MA

What’s the work that you do?

My research areas include international cooperation and regional integration. Recently, I have been studying both issues in relation to climate change. More specifically, I am interested in investigating how international cooperation maintains and reinforces the Antartic Treaty’s status quo and its neutrality as a territory dedicated to science.

What keeps you going?

I am currently working on the organization of the SCAR Open Science Conference 2024, which will take place in Chile next year. What I like the most about my work is the number of international actors interested in addressing climate change. Being part of a project of this magnitude is challenging and extremely interesting due to these actors´ themes, proposals, and visions on climate change.

What’s your message to the world?

The impacts of human-made climate change are severe. Science and international cooperation among different actors is crucial to address this issue. Through more vigorous international collaboration, including the public, private, and academic spheres, we can achieve global resilience to the impacts of climate change.
