Oldenburg Climate Symposium 2024
10th + 11th September 2024: „Climate, People and Ocean”
The second edition of the Oldenburg Climate Days will once again offer a wide-ranging program for scientists and interested Oldenburg residents alike. Under the motto "Climate, People, Ocean", this year's focus is on the oceans and their role for society and the climate in a changing world.
Dialogue and discussion across disciplines form the core of the Climate Days and are also reflected in the lecture program: the eight (English) lectures will be given by internationally renowned scientists from the natural and social sciences. The supporting program includes interactions at the interface of art and science as well as workshops with and for young scientists.
Two further program highlights are aimed in particular at the interested Oldenburg public.
- On September 10, the documentary "Expedition Arktis 2" will be shown at cine k. Two scientists who took part in this expedition will be guests and will be available to answer questions from the audience after the screening.
- Prof. Dr. Edenhofer is Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). In an evening lecture on September 11, he will give current insights into research at the interface of climate and ocean. This lecture will be held in German.
