Professor Stephen Schneider gave the keynote speech during the midsummer dinner on June 23, 2009 at the Oslo conference on ‘Human Security in an Era of Global Change’. His acknowledgement that we are not just scientists but human beings who would like to see the world a better place has inspired much of our research on environmental change and human security.
