Research seminar with Daniel Lindvall, senior researcher at Uppsala University. His research areas are climate and energy transition. Author of the books Folkstyret i rädslans tid and Upphettning - demokratin i klimatkrisens tid. Daniel has been the main secretary for several government investigations such as the 2014 Democracy Investigation.
Abstract
This lecture explores the challenges that climate change poses to the endurance of democracy in an era of geopolitical turbulence. Drawing on his research and recent book, Climate Change and the Endurance of Democracy (Routledge), 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.
