Europe in the Age of Great Power Politics
tl,dr: The world is shifting into Great Power Politics, with the U.S. retreating, Russia advancing, and China expanding its influence. Europe must step up or risk irrelevance.

Lines we draw
tl;dr: Borders are human-made. They separate and protect, but their true potential lies in their permeability. Rigid borders lead to stagnation, flexible borders create change and exchange. The challenge: question boundaries and cross them courageously.

Borders structure our world. They create order, provide orientation and separate one thing from another. But borders are not natural. They are man-made con

Rethinking Sustainability: A Post-Growth Perspective on the UN-SDGs
The UN SDGs aim to foster global sustainability by 2030, yet their reliance on economic growth (Goal 8) creates contradictions with ecological objectives. We need a post-growth critique to reform the SDGs beyond 2030, emphasizing s

Today is #EarthOvershootDay in Germany. In the US it was 13 March, for the world in total it‘ll be end of July. Humanity uses almost 50% more Earth than we have. Political action is needed, above all. Ensuring that GHG emission targets are met, that products are circular economy friendly, and that we leave half the Earth for our non-human others.

#Postwachstum als neue Realität. Wird dieser Übergang aber nicht aktiv gestaltet, müssen wir uns auf schwere gesellschaftliche Verwerfungen einstellen. Deswegen: #Degrowth by design, not by disaster.

»KfW-Chefvolkswirtin Fritzi Köhler-Geib sagte der Zeitung, die Kombination von langfristig schrumpfendem inländischem Arbeitskräfteangebot und schwacher Produktivitätsentwicklung "stellt eine einzigartige Herausforderung dar, die so in der Nachkriegszeit für uns neu ist".«

As a reminder for #COP15 in #Montreal:

"Our global food system is the primary driver of #biodiversity loss, with agriculture alone being the identified threat to 24,000 of the 28,000 (86%) species at risk of extinction."

Was mich als Hochschullehrer umtreibt: es ist ja nicht die junge Generation, die die #KlimaKrise verhindern kann, sondern die Menschen, die jetzt in ihren 40ern und 50ern sind.

Warum? Weil die nächsten 15 Jahre entscheidend sind für das 1,5-Grad-Ziel – und Entscheidungen in Wirtschaft und Politik eben nicht von 20-jährigen getroffen werden. Wenn die jungen Leute von heute einmal in diesen Positionen sind, also ab ca. 2040, dann ist es schon zu spät.

Wir müssen also an die "Mittelalten" ran.

Wenn wir das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ernst nehmen, und das hat jetzt immerhin völkerrechtliche Verbindlichkeit (siehe BVG-Urteil letztes Jahr), dann...

Wenn wir das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ernst nehmen, und das hat jetzt immerhin völkerrechtliche Verbindlichkeit (siehe BVG-Urteil letztes Jahr), dann müssen wir in 10 Jahren mehr als 80% der heutigen Emissionen vermeiden. Das wird uns allen weh tun und auch nicht ohne Verzicht und Einschränkungen zu machen sein. Wer den Leuten etwas anderes erzählt, streut sich selbst Sand in die Augen.

Wenn junge Menschen aus Verzweiflung angesichts politischer Inaktivität aus Protest die Start- und Landebahn des BER-Flughafens blockieren, dann hat das meine volle Unterstützung. Der Aufschrei "das schadet der Akzeptanz des Klimaschutzes" ist an Heuchelei nicht zu überbieten. Was der Akzeptanz des Klimaschutzes schadet ist die völlig unehrliche politische Kommunikation darüber.

George Spencer-Brown, the great British Mathematician and author of #TheLawsOfForm, once said in a radio interview: "politeness never changed anybody."

What he meant was that people only change when they're upset, not when they're told how great they are and how great everything else is.

When I look at the multiple crises on this planet, especially the #ClimateCrisis, politeness won't save us. That's why I applaud direct action by #ClimateActivism.

China is many things, but it is not a developing country anymore. Its GDP/capita is higher than Russia's and with an HDI of .761 it ranks as "high developed". China cannot hide behind the real developing countries, the G77, and turn down its climate obligations.
