Final conference for students of Sustainability Studies

The Sustainability Studies students will each present a chapter from the book"Not The End of the World" by Hannah Ritchie (Our World In Data: https://ourworldindata.org/team/hannah-ritchie). With "the magnifying glass on the good", these presentations will illustrate to the audience why there has never been a better time to live sustainably on our planet. In 8 group presentations, the students will address the major environmental crises of our planet, educate about "environmental myths" and, with Hannah Ritchie's realistic optimism, discuss what each and every one of us can do to become the first "Generation Sustainability". "Not The End of the World" is full of pragmatic solutions, and gives "hope for the desperate" (German book title) in the face of global environmental crises and a world full of resigned, passive and/or frightened people. A central task of sustainability science is therefore to spread hope and positivism with scientifically sound facts in order to move people out of their lethargy and into action. Because everyone can contribute to the sustainable development of our planet in their everyday lives - we will give you tips on how to do this!
