Salon für Grundsatzfragen: Demokratie im Klimawandel

In the organizer's words:

Conversation

Few issues currently threaten the inner peace of democratic societies as much as climate policy. While some cannot move fast enough and are preaching renunciation, others are putting the brakes on: is it better to be cautious rather than overburdened and how much change is needed at all?

How do you weigh up these two positions? How can we use democratic means to build a bridge between "what is being done politically" and "what each of us should do" - without pouring water on the populists' mills? (How) can these transformation conflicts be resolved and how do we take as many people as possible in our society with us? What can we expect from the individual? Do we need a new form of politicization and if so, what could it look like? The Salon for Fundamental Issues: Democracy in Climate Change will revolve around these questions.

With: Bernd Ulrich (journalist, Die ZEIT) and Bernd Sommer (environmental sociologist)

The Munich Climate Autumn 2025 - Democracy at the tipping point?

Climate crisis, uncertainty, political division - the stakes are high. But who actually decides what is done? Who is listened to and who is not? And how can democracy be shaped so that it works for everyone?

From October 11 to November 9, the Munich Climate Autumn 2025 invites you to get into conversation about precisely these issues - at over 50 events throughout Munich. Whether it's a discussion, city walk, film evening or workshop: the series offers a variety of formats for anyone who wants to find out more, exchange ideas or is simply curious.

The focus is on big questions and concrete examples, such as young voices for climate and health in Europe, the influence of the media on our perception of the climate crisis and events that shed light on the role of lobbying in climate policy.

All events can be found at www.muenchner-klimaherbst.de . The Klimaherbst.MAGAZINE with the complete program is available throughout the city or can be ordered at info@klimaherbst.de.
