In the second installment of the series “Sturm und Drang” of the Dutch „Duitsland Institute“ two eminent activists from Germany and the Netherlands, Linda Kastrup (Fridays for Future Germany) and Benito Walker (Youth for Climate, Netherland), will discuss what we can and should do to address the climate crisis in these challenging times.
Why is the Fridays for Future-movement in Germany not only bigger but also more influential? What difference does it make that the greens are part of the government now? In which direction is the movement developing? Can other democratic instruments, such as forming citizens’ councils, help to create a concrete and broadly accepted climate policy? Which approaches are already successful in the Netherlands and Germany? On what aspects can we learn from each other – or even work together?
German singer-songwriter and “Artist for Future” Gisbert zu Knyphausen will approach the topic with a special selection of his music.
