"Johan Rockström is an excellent researcher with a high degree of social engagement," said the University of Amsterdam's Rector Magnificus, Karen Maex. "The way in which he consistently looks for solutions in his work is an inspiration to many, both within and outside the scientific community. I am extremely proud of this opportunity to present him with an honorary doctorate on behalf of the UvA."
