How can climate justice be achieved? As part of the exhibition “Mensch, Erde!,” Prof. Dr. Evelyne Schmid (University of Lausanne) will discuss issues related to justice, responsibility, and participatory decision-making.
The talk takes as its starting point four projects that emerged from a participatory initiative of “Mensch, Erde! – The Changing Climate” and are currently on display in the exhibition space. They showcase different paths toward greater climate justice—ranging from new legal approaches and international climate litigation to alternative forms of democratic participation.
The talk contextualizes these perspectives, highlights opportunities and challenges, and provides space for questions and discussion with the audience.
