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.

Vortrag und Diskussion zur Energiewende und zum Klimaschutz 
Dieses Thema löst unterschiedliche Assoziationen aus; die Spannbreite reicht von großem Verzicht bis zu mehr Lebensqualität. Somit ist dieses Thema emotional belegt und führt zu kontroversen Diskussionen. Wir stellen uns Fragen wie: Leben wir derzeit auf Kosten der kommenden Generation? Was passiert, wenn wir das 1,5-Grad Ziel überschreiten? Was können wir Verbraucher auch „im Kleinen“ für den Umwelt-und Klimaschutz tun und sind die Kosten dafür tragbar?
