Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This lecture series is a sequel to the successful lecture series "Climate Change and Climate Crisis" in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
If you have joined us in previous lecture series and obtained a grade, you can still join us this semester as well! This lecture has a different lecture number than the previous ones and different content (speakers) and therefore it counts as a different and new lecture.

This lecture series provides an interdisciplinary perspective on climate change and its impacts on the (a)biotic environment and human livelihoods. In particular, it puts a focus on the quest for identifying solutions to the looming climate change crisis. The talks are given by eminent scholars in their fields.

It will address current issues from various disciplines: climate science, geography, economics, cultural studies, political science and many more.

All of the speakers are well-known researchers in their respective fields and beyond. They are from various institutions: University of Vienna, IIASA, BOKU, Boltzmann Institute, IDIV, Obafemi Abolowo University etc
Many of the speakers participate in public debates about the probable effects of the current climate crisis and about possible remedies. The final program will be presented in due time.

This lecture series is open to all students of the University of Vienna. For more information about the eligibility of the series in your study programme, please contact the StudiesServiceCenter of your degree programme.

All lectures will be in in presence. In parallel the lectures will also be recorded and made accessible online afterwards. Some talks of external speakers will be given online.

Christa Schleper, Franz Essl (both Faculty of Life Sciences), Patrick Sakdapolrak, Ayansina Ayanlade (both Fakultät für Geowissenschaften, Geographie und Astronomie)
