Interview with climate scientist Svitlana Boychenko

A few years ago, temperatures above +35 °C in Ukraine were called an anomaly. Today, hot summers, prolonged droughts, sudden downpours, and gale-force winds are increasingly becoming part of our lives. Is this just weather whims, or have we already crossed the threshold of a new climate reality? How is Ukraine's climate changing? Why are extreme weather events becoming more noticeable? Are our cities, nature, and we ourselves ready for these changes? And most importantly — is it possible to adapt to a climate that is already dictating new rules today? This is discussed in the new episode of the program "About Science. Competently," which is released on the YouTube channel of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The guest of the studio is Svitlana Boychenko, one of the most authoritative Ukrainian researchers of climate change, leading research fellow of the Geomagnetism Department at the S. I. Subbotin Institute of Geophysics of the NAS of Ukraine, member of the Scientific Coordination Council of the NAS of Ukraine on Climate Change Issues, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, Associate Professor.
