Dirk Steffens: »Hoffnungslos optimistisch«

In the organizer's words:

He knows the remotest corners of the earth - and knows how fragile they are: Dirk Steffens, journalist, TV presenter and long-standing face of Terra X, constantly shows us the beauty and vulnerability of our planet. In his reports, he encounters rare animal species, endangered habitats and courageous people who stand up for nature. But how does that actually work: talking about the climate crisis without getting into a doomsday mood? What are the concrete benefits of species conservation? Where do we need to start? And where can we find confidence when new bad news emerges every day? Salon host Mariel Reichard talks to Steffens about responsibility, hope and optimism. True to the motto: If you understand the world, you can change it. This is also the subject of Steffens' new book Hopelessly Optimistic - and the question of whether optimism can even be resistance.

The event will take place in the atrium of the Welfenschloss!
