“Public Climate School “– a week of climate change events at the University of Konstanz

From 25 – 29 November 2019, the University of Konstanz and the city of Konstanz will host events focusing on climate change: a Science Slam, talks, workshops and more.

Scientific facts about climate change: From 25 – 29 November 2019, a national week of climate change events organized by „Scientists4Future“ and „Students4Future“ takes place. In Konstanz, researchers from both the University of Konstanz and the HTWG Konstanz – University of Applied Sciences share their broad range of perspectives on climate change during the "Public Climate School". The fields of politics, economics, biology and computer science are involved as well as cultural theory, sociology, chemistry and physics. The talks are accompanied by additional information and activities provided by partners in the Konstanz region.

On 2 May 2019, the City of Konstanz was the first in Germany to declare a state of climate emergency. This was an important first step to intensify climate protection efforts. Hosting the “Public Climate School” is another way for Konstanz to continue to promote sustainability over the longer term.
