- **Event Name**: Naomi Oreskes: How climate change breaks the promise of progress
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: We are pleased to announce that Naomi Oreskes – world‑renowned scholar, leading voice on climate science, and bestselling author of The Merchants of Doubt and The Big Myth – will visit Stockholm on April 24 for an evening event at ABF-huset.

In The Big Myth, Oreskes shows how American business interests fostered a near-spiritual belief in free markets to resist environmental and labor regulation. Merchants of Doubt revealed how corporate lobbying spread distrust in climate science using tactics once employed by the tobacco industry.

In her talk, Oreskes will present new work demonstrating how climate change, when fully understood scientifically, undermines the historical promise of continuous progress that Western institutions are built on. She will also examine how futuristic narratives and faith in technological fixes distract from confronting the power structures delaying climate action.

Naomi Oreskes is Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. She is a globally respected earth scientist, historian, and public speaker, known for her work on the role of science in society, the impacts of human‑driven climate change, and the politics of disinformation.

Tickets include food and drinks at a mingle afterwards. Proceeds from tickets support ABF’s activities promoting lifelong learning, democracy, and equality.
