Our climate lecture continues!

8 April 2025

Whether biodiversity loss, heatwaves or melting glaciers: the climate crisis is already showing us its sometimes irreversible effects on our ecosystems every day - worldwide. At the same time, the climate crisis has a problem of justice: while Big Oil continues to make billions in profits and the richest 1% of the world's population is responsible for 16% of global CO2 emissions, the countries that contribute the least to the climate crisis are hit the hardest. In the so-called Global South, the existence of entire island states, such as Kiribati, is threatened by rising sea levels.
So where are we right now? Have we really already passed the point of no return or is there still hope?

As the AStA, we have not given up yet and invite all interested parties to do the same under the motto “Reclaiming Tomorrow” - because that is the name of this semester's lecture series on the climate crisis. For the ninth time in a row, experts will present their knowledge and research on the climate crisis in 14 lectures - ranging from highly topical socio-political discourses such as migration to scientific topics such as climate extremes and research areas in the humanities such as climate fiction.
The lecture series will take place every Tuesday at 6 pm from April 8 in the Audimax I of the University of Hamburg and you can register until April 17 at STiNE at the events of the Institute of Geography or the ISA Center. But anyone else who is interested - regardless of their existing knowledge - is also welcome to expand their knowledge. You can find the topics of each week on the instagram channel of Students for Future.
