#29 Democracy is heating up: impacts of climate change on policymaking
What happens to democratic systems as climate impacts intensify? How do heatwaves, droughts, floods, and rising inequality shape political trust, participation, and stability? And can democracies withstand the pressures of a warming world — or even help us navigate them in a more just and inclusive way?
In this episode, Daniel Lindvall shares his insights about how natural disasters and environmental crises could temporarily boost civic engagement or threaten democratic stability altogether.
This season is produced in collaboration with RETOOL, a HORIZON EUROPE project aiming to advance our understanding of how to address the twin challenges of responding to the climate imperative while strengthening and reinvigorating democratic governance.
