One crisis follows the next, but one is constantly lurking over us: the climate crisis. For decades, researchers have been demonstrating how fatal the climate crisis will be. Irreversible damage in the form of natural disasters threatens to destroy the habitability of large parts of the world forever. Large corporations and industry are happily making billions in profits while continuing to pump exhaust gases and toxins into the air unchecked. This makes it absolutely clear that we need a change in the way we do business
This crisis can only be halted with a tax on large corporations and strict climate protection laws. Universities also need to change: We need system-critical teaching, interdisciplinary research, energy-efficient universities and green jobs. We students are shaping the future of our society – so we also need to learn how we can do this in a climate-friendly and socially just way!
