Turkey is required to hold presidential and parliamentary elections no later than June 2023. Barring any unexpected developments, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could very well remain in office. As the country’s longest serving leader, Erdogan has cast a long shadow on the country’s economic, social and political development. Until 2010, Erdogan was exemplified as a transformational leader who significantly raised per-capita incomes, placing Turkey on the path to full accession to the European Union (EU) and a “model” country for regional powers emerging out of the Arab uprisings.

The 21st century has undoubtedly been marked by periods of upheaval and disjunction. Examples include the global COVID-19 pandemic, the revitalising of Black Lives Matter by the US murder of George Floyd by a policeman, the Russian war against Ukraine, the murder of Sarah Everard by a UK policeman and the accession of King Charles.

This lecture and Q&A session will discuss emerging strategies for managing so-called overshoot, or the breaching of the 1.5– and quite possibly also 2–degree targets. Political ruling classes have largely accepted such global warming as fait accompli. So what are we supposed to do when temperatures exceed these critical thresholds? Three potential strategies are on offer: adaptation to cope with the disasters, carbon dioxide removal to bring the CO2 concentrations back down, and solar geo-engineering to shave off the peak of the heat.

Political science literature has documented that the electoral behavior of voters with opposing preferences across dimensions (i.e., culturally progressive and economically conservative, or viceversa) is highly dependent on the importance they attach to each dimension. This study aims to expand our knowledge of this phenomenon in two ways.
