+ 2 Grad. Warum wir uns für die Rettung der Erde erwärmen sollen.
As long-time director of the Institute for Meteorology and Climatology at BOKU Vienna, she has been active in international climate research for many years. Kromp-Kolb knows how to present complex correlations in an understandable way, she knows that turning a few small adjustments is not enough, but that a fundamental rethinking of our consumption, mobility and growth model is necessary if we consider the Paris climate target of 1 Want to reach 5 degrees warming. And the expert is not afraid to make clear demands on politics. This is also shown by her book “+2 Grad. Why we should warm up to save the world ”(Molden-Verlag), which explains the effects of climate change on Austria. Helga Kromp-Kolb calls in particular for a rethink regarding our lifestyle and consumption style. Politicians must create the framework conditions for this, for example by pricing greenhouse gases. In addition, the counterproductive funding policy must be abolished - the key words are the commuter allowance, the exemption from VAT for international air traffic or diesel subsidies.
Helga Kromp-Kolb ist für mich ein großes Vorbild dafür, Wissenschaft nicht im Elfenbeinturm zu betreiben, sondern sich damit öffentlich einzumischen. Eine Freude, dass sie uns den Online-Vortrag zugesagt hat! Mit dabei sein werden auch Studierende der Fachhochschule Salzburg von Dr.in Daniela Mozbichler, der KO-Veranstalterin.
Format: Aus- und Weiterbildungsveranstaltungen
