Rückschlag für den Klimaschutz: Wandel der Einstellungen und Kommunikation zu Klimawandel und Klimapolitik von 2015 bis 2023
In ihrem Artikel „Rückschlag für den Klimaschutz“ veröffentlichten Anne Reif, Lars Guenther, Robin Tschötschel und Michael Brüggemann erstmals die aktuellen Langzeittrends zur klimawandelbezogenen Mediennutzung und klimafreundlichen Einstellungen während fünf UN-Klimagipfeln (2015-2023) in einem Zeitschriftenaufsatz. Zum ersten Mal deuten die Umfragedaten auf einen Rückschlag für den Klimaschutz hin. Es zeigen sich unterschiedliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Mediennutzung und […]
Klima-Zeitenwende in der ARD? – Ein Jahr “Wirtschaft vor acht”
Seit mehr als 22 Jahren ist einer der besten Sendeplätze der ARD, kurz vor der Tagesschau, dem Thema Finanzmarkt vorbehalten. Aus “Börse vor acht” wurde im März 2022 “Wirtschaft vor acht”. In einer Pressemitteilung kündigte die ARD an: “Ein Schwerpunkt ist das Themengebiet Ökonomie/Ökologie.” Grund genug, nach einem Jahr genauer auf die Inhalte des neuen […]
How to talk about climate change – a collection of thoughts and helpful input for non-experts
When did you talk about climate change the last time? And when did you do so with family and friends? Results from our surveys show that on the one hand, the amount of people talking about climate change in their daily lives is rising steadily (see Guenther et al. 2020, in German), but on the […]
Why we need airtravel for an accurate weather forecast
Flying is bad for the climate – this is an uncontested fact. However, air traffic is necessary for weather forecasts, as airplanes send live data to weather stations. COVID-19 has caused a massive decline in air travel, hereby affecting the quality of weather forecasts.
Tag 2 des K3 Klimakongresses: Beichten zum Brunch
„Ich bin gewissermaßen gescheitert in der Klimakommunikation“.

Neben Latif standen noch drei weitere ExpertInnen den anwesenden JournalistInnen Rede und Antwort.
How misinformation persuaded my neighbor, and why I chose not to “educate” him
Recently I chatted to my neighbor and we happened to stumble upon the topic of climate change. He told me: “I don’t think the earth is really heating up, big changes don’t happen so fast. This so-called warming effect is physically not plausible, even many scientists say so – I learnt about that when I […]
Public protests “for future” as part of citizenship – children and scientists included
Today, I went to the streets with my ten-year-old son. It was his first protest march, and my second. We went with his elementary school class, loudly shouting: “don’t steal our future!” And while German politicians claim that they understand the children’s concerns, they also claim, more or less implicitly, that the children do not […]
“Fridays for Future” – Can the next generation save our world?
Young people are often criticised as self-centred and politically disinterested. But recently, the next generation has been engaging more and more in climate politics, and their voice is getting heard – at least in media coverage.
A climate of change in media coverage?
My twitter account has slowed down during the second week of COP21. Was it because no one had new stories to tell from Paris? Did my contacts all leave the conference? If so, with what feelings? As person that hasn’t been to the summit and therefore was unable to directly pick up the notion of […]
Degrees and vulnerability – personal account of the start of the summit
Monday morning the climate summit started with scores of state leaders arriving in their black cars, delegates and press mostly in electric shuttle buses. But Espace Générations Climat – the forum for all the non-accredited NGOs and activists, remained closed. They were not allowed to open until Tuesday, evidently for security reasons. The only demonstrators the delegates would see […]
