The science on climate change has never been clearer – yet the political response has never felt more uncertain. What happens when the evidence and the electorate don't move in step? Join Stand Up for Science for a timely conversation exploring the fault lines between scientific consensus, democratic governance, and the climate crisis. Our panelists will examine how climate science shapes—and fails to shape—policy, why democratic institutions sometimes struggle to act on urgent scientific warnings, and what it will take to bridge the gap between what we know and what we do. Expect a candid, cross-disciplinary discussion among Dr. Colette Delawalla, SUFS CEO and Founder, Dr. Ticora Jones, Chief Science Officer at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Dr. Michael Mann, climate change researcher with the University of Pennsylvania, as they explore questions like: Can democracy move fast enough to meet the pace of climate change? What role should scientists play in public life when their findings become politically inconvenient? And how do we rebuild public trust in both science and self-governance at a moment when both are under strain?
