DESCRIPTION:Climate change presents a formidable political challenge to dem
 ocracies:\n\nThe climate crisis is striking the Earth with great intensity
 . The more severe predictions are materializing sooner than expected\, req
 uiring humanity on Earth to rise to decisive and swift action. This crisis
  is intensifying in the context of what has been defined by the World Econ
 omic Forum as the "era of polycrisis\," including economic crises\, wars\,
  and democratic crises.\n\nIn 2024\, 64 countries\, home to almost half of
  the world's population\, held elections\, presenting a tremendous challen
 ge in addressing climate change. Effective climate policy requires a stead
 y public dedication to the tasks of mitigation and adaptation\, but electi
 ons can result in large fluctuations in government support for such measur
 es. In some countries\, the recognition of the need for decisive and effec
 tive climate policy is a politically polarized issue\, as is science-based
  policy in general\, and even facts and truth themselves can sometimes be 
 contentious topics.\n\nAdditionally\, climate problems spill across border
 s and jurisdictional lines that then require collaboration between interna
 tional\, national and sub-national entities with sovereign powers.
