The CLIMACT seminar series “A Climate of Transformation” is an interactive online event. It takes place twice a month, every second Monday during your lunch break, with two new speakers.
Each episode aims to strengthen the dialogue and collaboration between key UNIL and EPFL scientists, swiss politicians, entrepreneurs and various actors from the civil society, through collective reflection.
A wide range of climate change-related topics will be discussed, integrating perspectives from all sectors and academic disciplines in order to generate new leads and initiatives towards systemic solutions.
Your expertise, ideas, critical thinking and vision for the future is essential.

(Democratically) legitimate climate action?
Presented by Karin Ingold I University of Bern & EAWAG - President of ProClim

To reach net zero society, a sustainability transition in different systems such as food, electricity, or transport is needed. What is the role policy and politics can play therein? What action seems (democratically) legitimate and at the same time fulfilling principles of sustainability? Are democracies sustainable; and is sustainability democratic? To answer these questions, I will outline the climate performance of different states and political systems at first place. I will then talk about the role of science and civil societal action. I will conclude with some compatible forms of decision-making that fulfil both, sustainability and democracy principles.

Un échange ouvert sur le pourquoi et le comment politique.
