Climate Change and Climate Crisis
This lecture series is a sequel to the lecture series "Climate change and climate crisis. Interdisciplinary perspectives", "Climate change and climate crisis. Future perspectives and concepts", "Climate change and climate crisis. Transformative concepts and innovation", and "Climate change and climate crisis. Staying within planetary boundaries".
It will address current issues of climate change and climate crisis through the lenses of various disciplines, such as climate science, geography, economics, cultural studies, political science, law, finance and more.
All of the national and international speakers are well-known researchers in their respective fields and beyond. Many of them participate in public debates about the probable effects of the current climate crisis and about possible remedies.
