We caught up with several of the speakers at the Arctic Repair 2025 conference held at the Centre for Climate Repair. They'll be featured in the Climate Repair Café series but meanwhile, here's some excerpts from their interviews.
Hi, I'm Herb Simmons, and I'm the author of A Climate Vocabulary of the Future, and have gotten involved in climate activism of all sorts in the last decade or so, since I basically, after I retired from government, I decided, what's the world's most important problem that I can contribute at least a little to, and it was climate change.

I’m Burgess Lanshaw Power. So my work generally focuses on the question of what are the technical characteristics of solar geo-engineering? In other words, what makes it what it is? What are the underlying things that make it different from any other technology? And once we know what that is, then we can compare it to other technologies. We can decide what is a good analog for this. So once we've sort of broken it down into a few really key characteristics that we can identify as issues for governance, then we identify analogs...

I'm Jason Box at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, and I'm a physical climatologist focusing on Greenland and Arctic climate. We make observations, we gather other observations, put them together. What do the data tell us about how fast Arctic climate is changing, how fast is the ice melting, this kind of thing.

My name is Anne-Lotte Bruurse, I'm a PhD researcher at Delft University of Technology, that's in the Netherlands, and my work is really focusing on studying the method marine cloud brightening, and it's a method that is evolving around enhancing the reflectivity of clouds such that we can cool the earth, and I'm really focusing on the seawater spraying necessary for this, and how then the seawater spraying affects the plume dispersion.

Hello, I'm Lars Kullerud. I'm the president of the University of the Arctic, which is an organization of more than 200 universities and research institutions and indigenous people's organizations of the Arctic, working together to solve the big problems of the Arctic and make the Arctic a fantastic place to live in the future.

I'm Dr. Pete Irvin. I'm the editorial director and co-founder of SRM360.org, a website that supports an informed discussion of solar geoengineering, and I'm a research assistant professor at the University of Chicago. I've been working on this topic, these ideas to cool the planet down for over 15 years, thinking about how they would affect the climate, how they'd change it, but also about the broader implications they could have if they were ever developed and deployed.

Hi, my name is Justus Lehtisaari and I work for Operatio Arktis. (0:05) It's a Finnish formerly youth-led NGO working on climate issues and especially focusing in the Arctic. (0:14) And how did you come to work with that organisation or be a part of it? (0:19) Well, this actually in 2022, I was living in Iceland and I was going through a lot of small Icelandic communities (0:26) and just also reading about Arctic politics and also through the academic work I was doing in university (0:34) but also living in Iceland, I came to realise how climate change is changing everything in the Arctic.
