Fellow Spotlight: Christina Last
Our Fellow Spotlight series focuses on showcasing the work of our Fellows. This time, I spoke with Christina Last, who recently joined Subak’s latest global Fellowship cohort. Christina’s project will develop a machine learning model that predicts the concentration of short-lived climate pollutants (PM10), which can be used to identify and build evidence to reduce pollution and emissions.

The case for a carbon tax & dividend scheme in the wake of the IPCC report

Meet our latest cohort of Fellows working on climate data
One of the things that’s inspiring at Subak is having the chance to meet a group of people who are trying to do something to tackle climate change. It isn’t every day you get the chance to meet people inspired by a mission; and have the opportunity to help them along in that mission.
