Although climate change has long been recognized as a major challenge of the coming decades particularly among scientific experts, policy interventions for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the forthcoming changes have long been stagnated in political arenas. Fisheries are an area of human activities on which climate change impacts are likely to be enormous. In the face of such challenges, what is the “appropriate” function of scientific experts in political decision-making? In this symposium, we will invite a renowned scientific expert from the UBC Fisheries Center in order to explore the role of scientific experts in the societal deliberation about the future of fisheries.
The lecture shall be conducted in English.
