4:00 PM EDT - Democracy in a Hotter Time: Climate Change and Democratic Transformation
Democracy in a Hotter Time calls for reforming democratic institutions
as a prerequisite for avoiding climate chaos and adapting governance to how Earth works as a physical system. To survive in the “long emergency” ahead, we must reform and strengthen democratic institutions, making them assets rather than liabilities.
