AboutAbout the lab
Tackling the challenges of science and society in an age of climate crisis
Emori Lab studies the relationship between science and society surrounding climate change (global warming).
The lab believes that differences in how people perceive and think about climate change arise not only from the accuracy of scientific knowledge, but also from the diverse values, positions, and interests present in society.
Working with social scientists, the lab studies how to reflect citizen deliberation in policy proposals (climate assemblies) and how to incorporate perspectives such as ethics into the evaluation of energy technologies aimed at decarbonization.
The lab also addresses problems in climate change communication, including the role of the media.
Key terms
- Climate assembly
- A meeting in which ordinary citizens, selected by lottery or similar methods, discuss climate change measures and the results are used in policymaking
- Deliberation
- A way of discussing an issue carefully in which people with differing opinions exchange reasons for their views
- ELSI
- The ethical, legal, and social issues that arise when new science and technology are introduced into society
