Akademic Conference Centre
Husova 4a, Prague 1

What are the local impacts of the global climate change and how is it perceived? The conference will aim at social aspects of the climate change from the perspective of social sciences. We will discuss the attitudes of the public and various interests groups towards the climate change, a problem which becomes more palpable even in Czechia. The conference will introduce the scientific research of the Czech climate skepticism, roles of the civil society and experts in the adaptation of the Czech landscape, social movements addressing the climate change, and will focus on the global and local linkages – both in Czech and transcultural contexts.
