Webtalk Series "Totally Glocally" – Europe from the outside: Dealing with the Climate Crisis

The series of events organized by the ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations) addresses current issues concerning the interaction between the global and the local. Attention is focused on positive examples of cooperation, own scope for action and social innovations in the context of climate change. How does the world look at Europe from the outside, and what hopes, but also disappointments, are attached to it? What role should global networks, supranational organizations and international civil society play in the context of the challenges posed by climate change? And how might international cultural relations help mediate on these issues? These and other questions are discussed in a total of three events, which were moderated by Ecologic Institute and supported in terms of content and organization during preparation and implementation.
