    The emergence of global catastrophic risks, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, highlights the need to popularize scientific knowledge, in order to disseminate the best practices for combating, preventing and mitigating ongoing environmental, social, economic, geopolitical and technological threats. From this perspective, this article seeks to validate the scientific knowledge publicly available through the online lecture platform TED Talks. The methodology applied was qualitative analysis through comparison between information from scientific databases, with a systematic review of the literature, and analysis of 32 video lectures. The results point to a convergence between the understanding published in scientific articles about global catastrophic risks and the knowledge popularized by the digital lecture platform analyzed.

    A emergência de riscos de catástrofe global, tais comoa pandemia de Covid-19, evidencia a necessidade de popularização do conhecimento científico, a fim de disseminar as melhores práticas de combate, prevenção e mitigação às ameaças ambientais, sociais, econômicas, geopolíticas e tecnológicas em curso. A partir de tal perspectiva, busca-se nesse artigo validar o conhecimento científico disponibilizado publicamente pela plataforma de palestras online TED Talks. A metodologia aplicada foi a análise qualitativa por meio de comparação entre informações oriundas de bases de dados científicos, com revisão sistemática da literatura, e análise de 32 palestras em vídeo. Os resultados apontam para uma convergência entre o entendimento publicado em artigos científicos sobre riscos de catástrofe global e os saberes popularizados pela plataforma de palestras digitais analisada.
