For years, the success of 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢-𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐬 has been measured by their direct impact on policy. But new findings from the RETOOL partners' research reveal this focus is too narrow.

💡COVID-19 revealed institutional flaws but also proved societies can transform to face existential threats. For the #ClimateCrisis, we must harness this capacity for democratic renewal, prioritizing #justice, #participation, and robust institutions not just resilience.

⏫In a world without climate change, similar heatwaves would be expected less than every 2,500 years.

But today, with 1.3°C of warming, they are much more likely, expected every 13 years.

The lexicon used by climate misinformers has changed, and "‘New Denial’ is bent on condemning solutions to climate change and their supporters."

Researchers found the most prevalent climate-related terms on Twitter/X from 2021-2023 and shared their results below.

The EU’s #StrategicDialogues could boost #democracy but suffer from corporate dominance, lack of transparency & performative debates. The 2024 #AgricultureDialogue succeeded—why isn’t the #EU replicating it?
