| Description: |
The Blue Earth Project (BEP), an initiative led by the Network of Researchers on the Chemical Emergence of Life (NoRCEL) convenes global public forums to explore the guiding question: How can discussions and recommendations from the Blue Earth Project influence politicians and voters in democracies? As climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecological degradation intensify, the need for inclusive, ethically grounded scientific discourse has never been greater. This paper outlines the theoretical basis, public value, and democratic relevance of BEP, making the case for its role in supporting evidence-based, citizen-informed policymaking. By integrating perspectives from science, ethics, and public participation, BEP serves as a model for engaging democratic societies in shaping planetary futures. ; Peer reviewed |
