15. - 19.06.2026: Public Climate School

The nationwide campaign week once again offers a varied program on the topics of climate protection and sustainability. Among other things, you can experience a live stream on the following topics every day:

• 15.06.2026, 10 - 10.45 a.m.: "What does the climate crisis have to do with me?" (Julian Weilbacher - Health4Future)
• 16.06.2026, 10 - 10.45 a.m.: "Who is causing the climate crisis, and who is suffering from it?" (Nada Hazem, Climate Stories)
• 17.06.2026, 10 - 10.45 a.m.: "What does a climate-friendly future look like? What kind of world do we want to live in?" (Futurium)
• 18.06.2026, 10 - 10.45 a.m.: "What can I do myself and why do I need others?"
• 19.06.2026, 10 - 10.45 a.m.: "How can we change things together?" (Wandelwerk e.V.)

In addition, lecturers offer selected courses as part of the Public Climate School

17.06.2026: 1 - 1.45 p.m.: Sustainability in durable industrial products with electronics

• Location: Fritz-Förster-Bau, E-75, Mommsenstr. 6
• Registration: https://bildungsportal.sachsen.de/opal/auth/RepositoryEntry/54678290433/CourseNode/1779849678425458011
• While electronic semiconductor components only have an average lifespan of just over 4 years, there are industrial products and consumer goods with a useful life of decades. The question now arises as to how the functionality of consumer goods and industrial equipment can be guaranteed for years or decades if essential components of electronic products become obsolete after just a few years.
• The lecture will explain the causes of the short lifespan of semiconductor components and highlight measures that effectively ensure the sustainable availability of electronic products.

18.06.2026, 9.20 - 10.50 a.m.: What would YOU decide? Critical Thinking and Problem Solving in the Climate Debate (Chair of Didactics of Physics)

• Location: HSZ 201
• Course leader: Dr. Farahnaz Sadidi & Dr. Thomas Prestel
• Contact:

18.06.2026, 16.40 - 18.10: Social sustainability (Sustainability)

19.06.26, 8 - 11 a.m.: Climate Change

• Location: BEY/E39
• Advisor: Prof. Matthias Mauder

• The module includes climate changes and their interaction with atmospheric trace matters and vegetation. Global change makes demands to all natural resources (soil, water, air), where e.g. the water supply and its use are dependent on natural and economical requirements. Climate change is exemplarily shown to explain the use of limited resources in the light of a changing world. Its understanding requires knowledge about the earth-atmosphere system. The module focuses on the state of the art of climate research (data, methods and results) including the feedback with the hydrosphere and biosphere. The evolution of the paleoclimate and the recent climate change are used to illustrate the different climate parameters. The presentations of the students complete the program. Students improve their knowledge about system understanding of climate change by integrative treatment of climatic processes. They are able to explain complex relationships and develop a reliable conflict understanding of questions relevant to natural resources in connection with climate.
