We have more #ScientificEvidence than ever to guide policymaking and yet we see growing political conflict.
Science alone is not enough!
The way we decide is influenced by many things, including our convictions & values. Policies need to take these into account.

We tend to take #democracy for granted.
But it's not. Inside our very home, in many ๐ช๐บ countries, we need to renew the social contract.
For me the main ingredient of democracy is trust. We need to restore it.
