Gerechter Wandel oder der Energie-Wettlauf zu Netto-Null Emissionen
English 210
Addressing climate change requires rapid and just systems transformations at unprecedented scales. The seminar will provide an overview of the scientific and political discussions pertaining to climate justice. Through interactive sessions students will learn about the main approaches to generate climate scenarios and critically reflect upon existing narratives that underpin them. We will illustrate both climate risks and climate opportunities and assess the impact of major climate policies, such as the US Inflation Reduction Act. Emphasis will be given also to the potential of demand-side mitigation and the role of cities and digitalisation for accelerating clean technology diffusion, increase innovation, and democratise the access to basic services.

Von Groningen bis Lützerath: Wie ziviler Widerstand die öffentliche Politik prägt
English 60
We, the people, shape politics and public policy in manifold ways. More often than not, civil resistance has been the determining factor to turn the tide and prevent controversial projects from becoming reality. This panel seeks to explore the differences in the public’s approach to two major projects concerning fossil fuels: the Groningen gas field and the Garzweiler surface mine. One of these projects will soon be closed, whilst the other one is booming. What have been the deciding factors for this outcome?

Wird uns die Technologie aus der Klemme helfen?
English 60
The global community may only have six years left to set actions that will limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. New technologies for carbon dioxide removal are expected to take about ten more years to become operational at a significant scale. This is a race against time. When will future tech breakthroughs be able to support an effective transformation towards net-zero? How do we align our actions and thinking today in view of these future tools?
 
Session objective: Imagining new possibilities – Get inspired and foster new ideas by imagining bold solutions to complex challenges and imagine disruptively new ways of thinking.

Mehr Grün statt Grau – Entwicklung innovativer Stadtquartiere zum Schutz vor urbaner Überhitzung
German 180
Green facades are seen as a tool to strengthen the resilience of cities against the backdrop of climate change. However, the devil is in the details. Fire protection, the right choice of planting, and pressure of use of public space are examples of many factors that must be ensured to achieve optimum effect. Another highly effective form of not only protecting urban space from overheating, but also pushing biodiversity, is green roofs. During the Hike, national and international showcase projects will be discussed with high-level experts.

//INFO: Hike to Zirmalm. Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, there is going to be a shuttle to Zirmalm. After the session at 12pm shuttles will bring you back to the Congress Centrum Alpbach.
