As populist parties of the right increase their electoral strength, governments and advocates of environmental policies are facing a well orchestrated backlash. In this wide-ranging interactive webinar, political scientists from the UK and Canada will explore the implications of this for both climate policies and the shifting frames of biodiversity and decarbonisation debates on both sides of the Atlantic. Reflecting on the outcome of the European Parliament elections, June 6-9, and what these could tell us about upcoming elections in Canada, the US and UK, this webinar is an opportunity for NGOs, governments and other climate communicators to understand emerging political trends and prudent strategic adjustments.
This EcoAnalytics Research Opinionation webinar is hosted by The Sustainability Network.
