A seminar talk titled 'In Defence of Democratic Noise: Equality, Voice and Social Knowledge in Climate Governance', held in person at the University of Westminster. The Centre for the Study of Democracy hosts Dr Aris Trantidis of Lincoln, who argues that democratic noise—citizens' equal standing to speak and express themselves openly—gives policymakers continuous social feedback that helps prevent the failure of climate policy, answering the objection that democracy is too slow for effective climate action.
