Our Future: Too hot or not? 1.5°C vs. 3.0°C
Under the Paris Climate Accord, all nations have committed to collectively limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius and ideally no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
However, we know that we are currently on track for 3 degrees + warming. What impact will these two different scenarios have on our planet and in particular on our daily lives?
What will the world look like if we reach the climate target of 1.5 degrees, and what if we don't act now and head for 3 degrees of warming?

What is the status quo of our climate? And which common myths can we dispel? With a variety of ready-made quiz questions, we offer your team a fun way to make climate change tangible and easy to understand. Basic & advanced quizzes, as well as industry & department focus.
Launch your Green Team
Use the day to exchange ideas and give your employees the opportunity to contribute their own ideas and suggestions to shape the week and thus the sustainable transformation of your company together.
Here are some ideas on how you can start building your internal climate team or green team and collect ideas from your employees.
Green Office: Zero Waste Journey
To position yourself as a sustainable company, you need to change internal processes -- that much is clear. But first, it's about convincing your employees of these processes and creating awareness for sustainable use of our resources. This is where the Zero Waste movement comes in. In her keynote speech "Zero Waste journey - with small steps to a sustainable corporate philosophy" Lorraine Wenzel, managing director of Zero Waste Austria, gives impulses for you and your employees and explains briefly and understandably the why and the how. Because only when your employees understand the background and see that even small steps can make a big difference, can sustainable changes be brought about that are supported by everyone. Join us on a journey towards a holistic, sustainable corporate philosophy.
Climate Communication
Do you want to learn how to motivate others to act in a climate-friendly way? Or are you concerned about the climate crisis but find it difficult to share these concerns with your colleagues? You have recognized the danger of the climate crisis and are frustrated that so many people seem to be indifferent to it?
Then this is the right workshop for you! Here we will work out practical tips on how we can talk about the climate crisis in everyday life and thus make a difference.
