From 17 to 19 February 2025, the German Climate Consortium (DKK) held the symposium ‘Implementation crisis in climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as possible solutions’ in cooperation with the Centre for Climate Resilience. The conference, chaired by DKK chairwoman and CCR professor Dr. Angela Oels, was an important summit of social scientists in climate research in Germany.

The University of Augsburg is once again participating in the Public Climate School from the 4th to the 8th of November 2024. During the PCS week, research institutes from around Germany open their doors to the public in an effort to provide sound scientific knowledge about the climate crisis. In Augsburg, simulation games, lectures, film screenings, and other interactive events will take place.

This was the question of a semi-plenary Roundtable on the first day of the 29^th (tri-annual) Conference of the German Political Science Association (DVPW). Prof. Dr. Angela Oels was one of the panelists and replied that scientists need to take a strong science-based stand.

A team at the Centre for Climate Resilience is now researching what hospitals need to improve their sustainability. On behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care, the team is developing practical indicators that can be used to measure and evaluate the sustainability of healthcare facilities. The project has funding of 1.8 million Euros from the Free State of Bavaria.
