Description of the activity
 | The 2024 Global Risks Perception Survey identified misinformation, extreme weather, and societal polarization as the most urgent short-term risks. The 2025 edition maintains these among the ten most severe medium-term risks and reaffirms that five of the ten most cited concerns relate to climate change. Future climate policies will be controversial, requiring compromise, sustainable transitions, and broad public support. However, polarization may hinder coordinated action, making essential policies harder to implement. Resistance to climate action will further strain democratic processes, especially in areas of high uncertainty. To address these challenges, we need effective science communication that fosters public support for climate research and policy. This requires insights into public opinion, social norms, and deliberation. This Summer School will bring together PhD students and leading researchers for four days of discussions, presentations, and feedback. The ultimate goal is to advance multidisciplinary research on climate change, science communication, and public opinion. |
