How will climate change and the need for energy transformation affect environmental policy in Eastern Europe?

The need for urgent climate action and energy transformation away from fossil fuels is widely acknowledged. Yet, current country plans for emission reductions do not reach the requirements to contain global warming under 2°C.

New article by Magnus Söderlund: When service robots look at themselves in the mirror: An examination of the effects of perceptions of robotic self-recognition
