This event brings together leading voices to bridge the often-fragmented dialogue between scientific research and policy implementation in climate intervention. Participants will explore the essential knowledge exchange needed for effective climate action through a set of three talks, with some time for a final discussion bringing together the different threads.
- Moderator: Hassaan Sipra (Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering).
-
Edward Parson (Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment School of Law (UCLA))How scientific assessments, and the broader scientific process shape how policy-makers think about climate intervention, and what is the reality of how governance processes work.
-
Trish Lavery (Centre for Future Generations).What it is that government officials require in terms of information from scientists, and those at the interface of science and policy for climate intervention
-
Marcos Regis Da Silva (The Degrees Initiative)What scientists need to know from policy-makers to advance and manage climate intervention research’
These speakers will illuminate how rigorous scientific evaluations and the broader research ecosystem fundamentally shape policy-makers' understanding of climate challenges and potential interventions, as well as demystifying the realities of governance for the research community. By revealing how governance actually functions beyond theoretical frameworks, explaining the procedural realities, political constraints, and institutional dynamics that determine which scientific recommendations become policy and which remain on paper. By fostering genuine mutual understanding between these two communities, this event seeks to create more effective pathways for translating climate science into meaningful intervention strategies and governance frameworks.
