Episode 20: climate change as a challenge and opportunity for social cohesion

Our podcast series YOU ASK we explain - Berührungsängste in der Medizin was launched in 2023 and is published monthly. In our 20th episode, we discussed the topic of climate change as a challenge and opportunity for social cohesion as part of TUD Lectures+

We wanted to discuss with you and answer your questions. What can we do to stop climate change? How will my own life and health be affected by climate change? Can we still do something about climate change? What forms of climate change denial are there and how are far-right actors increasingly mobilizing against climate policy? Is the current debate even an opportunity to come together? How can this succeed?

Didn't have time to be there? No problem: simply listen to our podcast on the go - on Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer.
