The climate crisis in the Alps

Event as part of the Sustainability Week („Woche der Nachhaltigkeit“): Together with Protect Our Winters, the university invites you to an exciting evening! Over popcorn and drinks, we would like to discuss together how the climate crisis is changing the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas and what consequences this has for our glaciers, our winters and therefore also winter sports. You can look forward to short presentations by Dr Lindsey Nicholson and Nobel Prize winner Dr Renate Christ, films (Blue Sky Thinking by Martin Sieberer, Into the Ice by Rico Ibai and the short film by POW AT on the effects of the climate crisis on the mountain sports community) and lively discussions on this important topic. Event mostly in German.
