Will Democracy Withstand the Climate Crisis? with Daniel Lindvall, PhD

In an era of climate change and geopolitical turbulence democracy faces many challenges. Drawing on his research and recent book, Climate Change and the Endurance of Democracy (Routledge, open access), Lindvall will examine how disasters and extreme weather events have historically affected human reasoning and political agency, and how the climate crisis may shape the future of democratic governance. He will show how such events can contribute to democratic backsliding, but also how they may create new opportunities for social mobilization and democratic revitalization.Research seminar with Daniel Lindvall, researcher in sociology at the Institute for Futures Studies and at the Climate Leadership Initiative at the Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University.
