Discussion Event ”Towards Climate Sustainability‟
Taking the Academic System from Evidence to Action
ALLEA, the Swiss Embassy in Berlin and Die Junge Akademie are partnering up to host the event "Towards Climate Sustainability – Taking the Academic System from Evidence to Action." The event will present some of the major findings from ALLEA’s report, and it will also feature representatives from key stakeholder groups within the academic system who will present the programmes and strategies they have developed to embed sustainable practices in their operations and reduce the levels of emissions within their sectors.
Topics:
- Starts on

Panel Discussion "Climate Sustainability in the Academic System – the Why and the How"
The ALLEA Working Group on Climate Sustainability in the Academic System invites to a virtual panel discussion. The event offers a preview of the report the working group is preparing on the topic, followed by a panel discussion. The challenges as well as opportunities that lie within academia’s transition to climate sustainability will be addressed, while also highlighting best-practise examples with an international and interdisciplinary perspective.

Change of roles
We all change roles in different life situations. This is not different in science, as the Covid-19 situation shows particularly clearly with regard to the role of scientists, for example as communicators and advisors of politicians. But role changes are also omnipresent as an object of science. Issue 27 of JAM approaches the topic from different perspectives.
