+++ ONLINE PANEL: CLIMATE POLITICS AND POPULISM +++
“Climate Populisms: Challenging the Future of Liberal Democracy?”
November 16, 2020, 7-9 pm (CET), online 
 
In recent years, populist movements on both sides of the aisle have gained 
followers, public attention and, in most cases, considerable power. Often, the 
issue of climate change is of particular importance in their rhetoric, whether 
it is to deny its existence or demand much more decisive action. But what does 
the rising power of populist movements mean for mitigating climate change? How 
do institutions and companies deal with this shift in rhetoric and behaviour of 
leading and influential political actors? 
We would like to investigate this nexus of climate change and populism in the 
context of an evening discussion.

The panel discussion, organized by the University of Darmstadt and the 
Schader-Foundation, will focus on the dual movements of left- and right-wing 
populism. Our discussion will touch on the chances and risks these various 
forms of climate populism entail as it pertains to policies, institutions as 
well as society and business at large.
