Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture series is a sequel to the successful lecture series "Climate Change and Climate Crisis - Interdisciplinary Perspectives" and "Climate Change and Climate Crisis. Future perspectives and concepts".
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 therefore it counts as a different and new lecture.

It will address current issues from various disciplines: climate science, geography, economics, cultural studies, political science, law, finance 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, Technical University of Vienna (TU), Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK), University of Oxford, University of Lausanne, Universität Tübingen, IIASA,...
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 and to the wider public. For more information about the eligibility of the series in your study programme, please contact the StudiesServiceCenter of your degree programme.

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, seatings in the lecture hall will be limited, but all lectures will be live-streamed in parallel and also be made accessible online afterwards. Some talks of external speakers will be given online.
