Panel Discussion "Global Rethinking: Innovations for more Climate Justice"
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Panel Discussion on October 12, 2023 at the Kulturzentrum TOLLHAUS and via Livestream It is mainly people in the global South who suffer under the effects of climate change. How do we as the international community deal with it? Tupoka Ogette, bestseller author and consultant for anti-racism action, is convinced that climate policy will only succeed when we provide for global justice. In her keynote starting the central panel discussion of the KIT Science Week “Global Rethinking: Innovations for More Climate Justice”, she directs attention to those who already are the most disadvantaged today. The following discussion also addresses the role of new technologies in climate protection. On the Podium - Prof. Dr. Kora Kristof, Vice-President Digitalization and Sustainability of KIT - Tupoka Ogette, Adviser and Speaker for Anti-Racism, Best-Selling Authorand and Podcast Host - Dr. Eva Riesenhuber, Gobal Head of Sustainability at Siemens - Prof. Dr. Mojib Latif, Meteorologist, Climate Researcher - Prof. Dr. Michael Decker, Technology Assessment Expert and Head of the KIT Division of Informatics, Economics, and Society
