Knowledge and climate: a discussion about climate change denial

The evening will begin with a lecture by Mikael Karlsson, senior lecturer in climate leadership and associate professor of environmental science at Uppsala University. Mikael’s research focuses on, among other things, climate change denial and he has long experience of Swedish climate policy both as a researcher and an expert in Government inquiries. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion with regional politicians and researchers from Lund University, which will cover how science denial is expressed at a local level and the consequences of this for society. The event is held in Swedish.
