Abstract:

As humanity faces climate change, interdisciplinary conversations about how climate research is produced are significant, as they offer researchers and activists opportunities to consider knowledge from different research traditions. This Structured Conversation explores the perspectives of three experts working in the field of climate change on how climate evidence is taken up by policy actors to exert influence and by activists to protest and empower.
