Debatt i Lund: Publish or protest ­– should climate scientists be activists?

Collage with megaofon, building and hands.

"Listen to the scientists”, says Greta Thunberg. But what happens if that's just not enough? Climate researchers are facing a dilemma: should they let their work speak for itself, or must they take to the barricades?

Does activism among scientists impact the credibility of their results? Some people claim that civil disobedience among researchers brings much needed attention to the climate emergency. Others that it only makes people angry and takes away focus from the crucial work that has to be done.

The moderator is journalist Lars Mogensen.

When: 8th of May, 7 pm

Where: Grand hotel, Stora salen, Bantorget 1, Lund

The seminar will be held in English.
