Abstract

The term “Science-and-policy-dialogue” in contrast to “Science-to-policy-advise” indicates the need for a dialogue instead of a one-way-advice. Our communication must be needs-based, addressing what’s on the political agenda. The objective is science-based policymaking, which means politicians use high-quality information to inform political decisions. While science-and-policy dialogues face many challenges – e. g. different focal points and timelines of research and politics, no prospect of higher scientific reputation – they are worth the effort because, for apparent reasons, trial-and-error is not an option in Earth system politics.SynCom is the overarching synthesis and communication platform of the research field 'Earth and Environment' of the Helmholtz Association. SynCom synthesizes research results and builds bridges across various disciplines. Functioning as an interface between science and society, SynCom supports evidence-based climate and environmental politics.In this talk, I will present the results of an impact analysis of a parliamentary evening on the "climate-resilient city", which we held in November 2022 on the dome of the German Bundestag.
