Ep. 43: Playing with Fire

Water and Fire: Impacts of Climate Change, Keeley (IAP/ICCP) Socialize with science on Twitter using @ISGPforum with #ISGPforum, and read the policy position paper and debate summary associated with this episode at the Institute on Science for Global Policy's website: www.scienceforglobalpolicy.org.

ISGP conferences follow an unique debate-and-caucus format. Distinguished scientists write 3-page policy position papers, then engage in 90 minutes of intensive debate with invited subject matter experts, policy makers, and other stakeholders collectively known as “the debaters.” Following the debates, participants engage in small, moderated caucus sessions to identify areas of consensus and actionable next steps. All conference participants then reconvene for a plenary session to compare the outcomes from each caucus group. For more information, please visit www.scienceforglobalpolicy.org.
