Abstract

Exploring the pivotal role science plays for searching for solution to tackle the
challenges of global warming the chapter by Veronika Wittmann highlights the openmindedness and cross-disciplinarity of science. Facts, based on scientific evidence, on global warming call for multilateralism and science diplomacy4environment as tools for global policy to manage joint future risks scenarios in a peaceful manner.
The chapter demonstrates that concepts of world society offer a variety of starting points for reacting to the challenge of global warming. Epistemologically, they are able to contribute to the necessary de-nationalization of concepts and methods of empirical research. Wittmann argues that politically, world society scholars can actively participate in discourses on global warming, as part of a highly complex multistakeholder process and presents the contours of a common future research agenda.
