Digital event in cooperation with the Scientific Advice Mechanism to the European Commission

The global agricultural and nutrition system is in crisis. The consequences of climate change and other environmental impacts are influencing agricultural production patterns, crop yields and food security - not only locally, but also along supply chains. This has become tangible for large parts of the population at the latest since the pandemic and the Russian war of aggression.

However, the crisis-like character of our global food system has been emerging for some time: one tenth of the world's population suffers from hunger, malnutrition and obesity exacerbate certain diseases in many countries and cause societal costs, the overwhelming majority of farm animals in industrialised countries live in intensive livestock farms, and agriculture, which is strongly affected by climate change, is itself the main cause of the extinction of species and contributes to climate change.

A global change in the agricultural and food system is urgently needed. But how are the burdens of the nutritional transformation to be distributed in order to create global food security? What future scenarios for sustainable food consumption are concretely conceivable in European societies? Which political measures can promote climate-friendly nutrition? What is the role of science in advising policy decisions on sustainability here in the EU?

The 9th KlimaLecture of the Junge Akademie will explore these questions and look at various possible solutions. These include diversification of trade relations and transnational adaptation strategies, education for sustainable development, a socially just pricing of the environmental costs of the consumption of animal products and steps to improve animal welfare.

The event is part of the Junge Akademie's KlimaLectures series and takes place in cooperation with the Scientific Advice Mechanism to the European Commission.

    • KlimaLecture #8 Energiemärkte und Klimaschutz

      Are European energy markets fit for climate protection? What measures are already in place at the European and national level to promote the energy transition - which is still necessary? Where do we stand today in Europe's energy transition? What are the most significant challenges? What will future climate-neutral energy systems look like - and can they function under today's market rules?

      Representatives of Die Junge Akademie will discuss these questions with Johannes Schmidt (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna) in the 8th ClimateLecture.

    • KlimaLectures #7: Civil disobedience and climate change

      The 7th KlimaLecture of Die Junge Akademie will focus on the meaning and justification of climate protests. How far can protest actually go in a democracy? What is meant by the term civil disobedience? And under what conditions can even radical protest be considered legitimate? After a keynote speech by Robin Celikates, Professor of Social Philosophy at the Freie Universität Berlin and Deputy Director of the Center for Humanities and Social Change, Eva Buddeberg and other members of Die Junge Akademie will discuss these questions with him and the participants of the event.

    • KlimaLectures x KlimaDiskurse: An die Wurzeln. Warum wird nicht entschieden, was nötig wäre?

      To the roots. Why is there no decision on what is needed?

      "We need a new radicalism in political action" - this is one of the central messages of Bernd Ulrich, deputy editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper Die ZEIT and co-author of "Noch haben wir die Wahl" (together with Luisa Neubauer, Fridays for Future). But why are decisions not being made on what would be necessary to solve the significant global challenges of our time, such as the climate crisis or the extinction

      of species? And how can we achieve the required transformation of all areas of our lives and economies?

      Representatives of Die Junge Akademie and the Bavarian Climate Research Network (bayklif) will discuss these and other theses with Bernd Ulrich at a joint event.
