Climate Talks Klimapakt Karlsruhe veranstaltet Vortragsreihe zu Klimaschutz-Themen
 
Wie geht guter Klimaschutz? Diese Frage mag auf den ersten Blick simpel erscheinen, ist jedoch alles andere als einfach zu beantworten. Rasch wird klar, es geht nicht nur um die Senkung von Treibhausgasemissionen. Klimaschutz sollte auch gerecht sein, die wichtigsten Verursacher und Handlungsfelder berücksichtigen sowie die betroffenen Personen mitnehmen. Zeit, sich mit dieser Frage einmal genauer zu beschäftigen und darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen!
Vor diesem Hintergrund lädt der Karlsruher Klimapakt alle Interessierten zur Veranstaltungsreihe Climate Talks ein.
 
Am 04.07.2024 sprechen Pia Laborgne und Wanda Wieczorek (KIT) zum Thema "Grüne Gabeln, globale Wirkung: Unser Teller als Werkzeug für den Klimaschutz". 
 
Alle Veranstaltungen sind kostenfrei, eine Anmeldung ist nicht erforderlich.

Start your own #climatechallenge!
The #climatechallenge is aimed at people who would like to get more involved in climate protection and would like to hold their own workshop in their private or professional environment. In the approximately three-hour online training you will get to know the workshop format in more detail. Anyone who works or does voluntary work in municipalities, neighborhoods, clubs or parishes can take part. We also offer all participants in the training courses supervision for exchange and networking.
 
Places are limited. The training language is German. Participation is free of charge.
 
The organizer is the Karlsruhe Transformation Center for Sustainability and Cultural Change at ITAS. The #climatechallenge project is funded by the National Climate Protection Initiative.

As a follow up to the first Normative Energy Ethics Workshop held in November 2021, the research group Philosophy of Engineering, Technology Assessment, and Science (PhilETAS) organizes a Normative Energy Ethics Lecture Series.
 
This lecture will be held by Ricardo Lopes Coelho (University of Lisbon) about "What is Energy?".
You will receive the Zoom link after registering.
 
You can find the registration and (soon) full abstract for the talk here.

Karlsruhe is becoming warmer and drier as climate changes in southwest Germany. Large city trees often become the first target for removal during infrastructure projects. At the same time, the poor vitality of city trees due to climate change impacts, diseases, and early aging of trees also sometimes contributes to the premature removal of trees. In this presentation, I will show the importance of large trees in cooling and biodiversity conservation in urban areas (e.g., streets, cemeteries, and parks) and provide some outlook on improving arboriculture and tree care so that the large trees can be kept in the city for a longer time. I will provide examples from the concluded GrüneLunge, ongoing URBORETUM, and other research projects.
