Climakedo researcher Kamilla Karhunmaa has received two years of funding through the Säätiöiden post doc –pooli from the Emil Aaltonen foundation to conduct her post-doctoral research in Belgium. Her research project “Offsetting the way into carbon neutrality” examines how voluntary carbon offsetting is perceived as a form of climate action amongst consumers, carbon offset producers and policy makers. In Belgium, Kamilla will be based at the Spiral centre at the University of Liège.
