Date:<\/strong> 27th – 28th of May, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n Venue:<\/strong> Politecnico di Milano<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conference \u201cNumbers and Stories 2\u2033 brought together internationally renowned experts and early career researchers for an interdisciplinary discussion on the ethical dimensions of climate change research. Specifically, the first day concerned the theme of illegitimate value influences and the responsibility of scientists and institutions in ensuring relevance and integrity of climate change research. The second day discussed whether and how considerations of justice should enter the evaluation of mitigation scenarios and how doing so could enhance the credibility and effectiveness of future research. Specific proposals will be discussed for operationalizing justice into quantitative emission scenarios produced by the scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like its previous edition, \u2018Numbers and Stories 2\u2019 had a strong interdisciplinary character, featuring contributions by climate scientists, economists, sociologists, statisticians, engineers, ethicists, and epistemologists. Aiming to sparking new interactions and collaborations among speakers and audience members, to create a trans-disciplinary community that can help address the complex questions raised during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday May 27<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alaa Al Khourdajie<\/strong> (Imperial College London): \u201cFrom assessment to action: How the IPCC shapes our understanding of climate change.\u201d Tuesday May 28<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mathias Frisch<\/strong> (Hannover): \u201cValues in integrated assessment modeling in the light of deep uncertainties\u201d Scientific + Organizing Committee: With the organizational support of: <\/p>\n\n\n\nAim of the conference <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
