„[insert solutions here]. Climate meets Democracy“
Strengthening civil society in the implementation of national climate policy
Climate meets democracy – The podcast
In our new podcast series “[Insert solutions here]. Climate meets Democracy” we talk about ideas and solutions that, on the one hand, actively address the climate crisis and, on the other hand, promote democratic principles. Guests from science and practice share their knowledge and experiences from around the world with us.
Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) and the Independent Institute for Environmental Issues (UfU e.V.) launch this new podcast as part of the project “Strengthening civil society in the implementation of national climate policy”, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The initiative is promoted by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) on the basis of a resolution of the German Federal Parliament.
The podcast series addresses a broad international audience with interest in climate related subjects and enables both the deepening of knowledge as well as the exploration of new ideas.
