Description This seminar gives an overview of the actual scientific knowledge on climate change. Both perspectives from natural and social sciences are presented in order to identify and understand the mis/match between the empirical evidences and the political, social and economic practices in terms of CO2 emissions, climate change mitigation and adaptation. The topic gives also the opportunity to reflect on the relationships between knowledge production, perceptions and practices.
