The lecture series of the TU Student Council's Department of the Environment will focus on climate activism and action in the summer semester of 2023. The individual lectures of the lecture series will be held in English.
Climate scientists agree that the climate crisis poses an existential threat to humanity. Although this knowledge has now reached large parts of society, the collective climate protection measures taken are far from sufficient. What is holding back policy makers, society, and individuals from taking action? The talk will introduce various cognitive action barriers, such as the principle of cognitive dissonance, the bystander effect or the single action bias.
