EQUINOX Workshop on Societal Transformation in the Face of Climate Change

Climate change challenges require knowledge that enables societal transformation towards a low-emission society and climate adaptation. Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) thus play a vital role as basis for knowledge-based policymaking to enable a just and effective transition.

This science-to-policy workshop will showcase knowledge gaps and present policy makers and research funders with projects and activities on societal transformation in the face of climate change that are relevant for climate action.

The workshop will bring together decision-makers, research funders, researchers and other stakeholders, including representatives from Horizon Europe Mission on Climate Change Adaptation and Mission Climate Neutral Cities to jointly discuss the knowledge gaps and research funding needs for the future.

Key questions to be addressed:

• How should governance and policy be designed to drive effective and legitimate societal transformations for climate action?
• How can wider public engagement and change of practices be enabled among citizens, businesses and political institutions to advance climate action?
• What are trade-offs and co-benefits between climate policy and other policies?  (environmental, competitiveness, security, agricultural etc.)

The workshop is organized under the framework of the Equinox Process, operated by JPI Climate and supported by the EU-project MAGICA which has the ambition to guide future climate research. Equinox accelerates the transfer of up-to-date climate science into policy by systematically bridging research and transformative climate action.
