Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I can't believe this is really happening. A president of a democratic country is bullying a president whose country has been attacked by a dictator and journalists are asking questions about wearing suits 🤯

In an unprecedented argument live on TV, US President Donald Trump told his Ukrainian counterpart on Friday he should "be thankful," accusing Volodymyr Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful" and "gambling with World War III".
Ukraine deal off, Trump says after public spat with Zelenskyy

This morning I had the privilege to give a radio interview in the German ARD Studio in Berlin. I talked about the net-zero transition, social tipping points, and the role of emotions in science communication. Great that journalists want to talk about such issues 💚

Klimastreiks & Großdemonstrationen sind nach wie vor sehr wichtig, um Aufmerksamkeit zu schaffen. Gleichzeitig brauchen wir auch andere Strategien der Vernetzung. Für junge Menschen ist es z. B. wichtig zu erfahren, wo sie eine zukunftsträchtige Ausbildung in einem nachhaltigen Bereich finden...

Die Klimakatastrophe kann man sich vorstellen, eine klimaneutrale Welt nicht, sagt Professorin Ilona Otto. Beim Klima stecken wir in negativen Diskursen fest, deshalb trauen sich Parteien nicht, Klima im Wahlkampf zu adressieren. Wie wir da rauskommen u. was die Bewegung tut: taz.de/Sozialwissen...
Sozialwissenschaftlerin Ilona Otto: „Klimaneutralität würde uns mehr Freiheiten geben“
Mit Klima ließe sich Wahlkampf machen, sagt die österreichische Forscherin Ilona Otto. Dafür müsste die Politik die Chancen thematisieren.
