1. What is the role of a University Science Faculty in addressing the climate crisis?
2. What is the single most urgent scientific research question with respect to the climate crisis?
3. What critical skill do science undergraduates need, to be part of a solution?
4. What should be SA’s number one priority in addressing the climate crisis?
5. Are there stark knowledge/expertise gaps in the SA workforce that inhibit a transition to clean energy?
6. Can a transition to clean energy be just?
