Linnéa NordlanderHostIn today's episode, we turn to the question of why has climate policy become so polarised in many liberal democracies? The disagreement about climate action is no longer about scientific evidence, choice of policy instruments or economic cost.
It is also about identity, belonging and competing visions of the nation.
To discuss this, I am delighted to be joined by Professor Robert Setzer from the University of Toronto.
Robert is associate professor and associate chair of political science, and he examines federalism, constitutional law and national identity.
He's currently delving into the theme of this podcast, how nationalism shapes climate policy in liberal democracies.
Robert, thank you so much for joining us this morning at the Climate Breakfast with your talk on nationalism, polarization and climate policy.
