Which narrations, metaphors, and communicative strategies can be used to talk about climate change? How do words, the media, and public discourse influence our perception of the emergency: do we react with denial, boredom or mobilization? A collective reflection on the distinction between observation and action, research and civic responsibility, and the need to develop new ways to present the complexity \u2013 scientific, political, and emotional \u2013 of the current ecological crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FRIDAY 5 JUNE SALA 2 17:30 What happens when people studying climate change stop observing reality with the objectivity science requires?
