Keynote “What if we were brave?” - Luisa Neubauer
Talk - Demokratie und gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt

Luisa Neubauer, the best-known climate activist in the German-speaking region, introduces a new tone in the climate crisis with “What if we were brave?”: a fresh start in the climate debate, a call to action filled with ambition, humor, and radical optimism.
“What if we were brave?” is an invitation to look the crises in the eye
and, at the same time, a plea for hope. Luisa Neubauer analyzes
the power struggles behind the climate crisis, exposes the fossil-fuel roots of our
democracy, and shows what a realistic utopia on our planet
might look like.
The climate activist and author presents surprising scenarios, statistics, and
solutions to the climate crisis, pinpoints political contradictions, comments on
current debates, and contextualizes sociopolitical developments. It’s about the global crisis and radical optimism; it’s about beauty, humor, hope, and pain all at once.
What has already been achieved—but also destroyed? How must cities change
to withstand global warming? Where does the right wing’s anti-climate aggression come from?
How can we achieve even more, and where does hope come from in a crisis-ridden
world?
“What if we were brave?” An evening full of inspiration, bold visions of the future, and a spirit of renewal.
