What function has the earth's surface as a habitat and how has it been changed by humankind? What does sustainable land management look like? What role does the changing climate play? Contributing from PIK will be Hermann Lotze-Campen and Alexander Popp giving a lecture on the future of sustainable land use. Peter-Paul Pichler will talk with the young talents about the potential of cities in reducing CO2 footprints. Pathways to an emission-free economy and what this means for energy systems and energy policies will be discussed by Gunnar Luderer and Kai Lessmann. Ilona Otto and Constanze Werner from PIK will stage a workshop on planetary boundaries together with scientists from other research institutes.
The Potsdam Summer School offers a unique opportunity to promote international cooperation and an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
