Widespread mistrust of science and disputes over basic facts, tied to growing political polarisation and disinformation campaigns, are undermining efforts to tackle climate change globally, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry warned.
During a virtual summit organised by the Nobel Foundation and major science academies this week, Kerry said building greater public understanding and agreement on the world s existential challenges was crucial to addressing them. We have to establish a baseline of truth or we canât build consensus in a democracy, he said.

The failure to halt climate change, the destruction of nature and other intertwined global crises poses an existential risk to humanity, ten Nobel laureates said Thursday following the first-ever Nobel Prize Summit.
Only profound changes in the way society produces, distributes and consumes almost everything starting with energy can forestall potentially catastrophic changes, they said in a joint statement, also signed by 20 other top thinkers. We need to reinvent our relationship with planet Earth, the statement said. Without transformational action this decade, humanity is taking colossal risks with our common future.
