Online Panel Discussion - LMUgrün

Via this link, you can watch the recording of the whole event.

In coping with the current corona crisis, science and politics are equally challenged. The tasks are clearly separated - science provides knowledge and facts and politics makes decisions based on these facts. This, however, creates a variety of challenges, which the current Corona crisis, but in particular the issue of climate change, makes all too clear, e.g:

• Why do politicians act so decisively in the Corona crisis, but not in the climate crisis? How can society and politics become more resilient through knowledge?
• Has trust in science grown during the Corona crisis? If so, how can this be used for other systemic challenges? - How do we deal with ignorance in complex systemic contexts?
• What role do climate deniers and conspiracy theorists play in finding the truth?
