Nach uns die Sintflut?

Climate change cannot be ignored: Drought, heavy rain, storms and heatwaves are becoming the rule rather than the exception. Nevertheless, the issue of climate and sustainability seems to be losing importance politically and socially. Why is this the case? Why does more knowledge not automatically lead to more action?

Together with you, we will take a closer look at the social and political dynamics involved in dealing with climate change: What role do language, emotions and the structures of our political system play in this? Does the way in which politics and the media talk about climate change influence society's willingness to change? What role does science play in polarizing some debates? Our experts contribute their different perspectives from science, politics and the media - and you are also invited to join the discussion!
