Honorary DoctoratesDebra Roberts (1961) could be described in many ways. She is an influential figure in the field of climate change adaptation, a government official in South Africa and one of the Co-Chairs of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); but what truly illustrates the person she is, is her reaction to receiving the honorary doctorate at the UT. ‘This honorary degree should go to my parents.’

Ze is gezaghebbend op het gebied van klimaatadaptatie, werkt voor de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering en is een van de vicevoorzitters van het Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Maar wat haar pas écht karakteriseert, is haar reactie op het eredoctoraat dat haar werd toegekend door de UT. ‘Dit eredoctoraat zou eigenlijk naar mijn ouders moeten gaan.’
