Too loud, too political, too abstract?
Climate change has been comprehensively researched, the facts are on the table. However, the spread of disinformation is increasing rapidly, particularly in this area. As a result, not only is political and social change faltering, but trust in science is also dwindling. How can climate communication regain its reach, credibility and power?

In a debate in the House of Commons, science, politics, the media and the public come together – in a contentious, open and solution-orientated manner. Discuss with us how emotional and political climate communication can be, whether morality motivates or blocks and what role numbers, stories, attitudes and new alliances play.
At the centre is the question of how we will talk about climate and the protection of our livelihoods in the future. A debate about responsibility between the individual and the system, about the lessons learnt from the past and about the future of climate communication. Who do we want to reach and who can we reach in the future? How do we talk about climate and species protection in such a way that our society takes action again?
A cooperation between Helmholtz KLIMA, the Foundation (Gesunde Erde – Gesunde Menschen) and Futurium. The Hermann von Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren e.V. is one of Futurium’s partner organisations.
