"Flatten the Curve! – Climate Change Communication in Times of Crisis"

Climate Change and Covid-19: The topics that dominate the public discourse of our time. What effect has the pandemic had on global warming, national climate politics, and local climate activism? How does Covid-19 influence the educational work of Germany’s biggest climate museum?

The Transatlantic Outreach Program (TOP) and the Goethe-Institut Visitors Programme invite you to a presentation and discussion with Annika Brieber who is a meteorologist on staff at the museum which has become one of the favorite destinations for both our STEM and social studies study tour groups.

The Klimahaus Bremerhaven 8° Ost is more than a museum; it is a mixture between a science center and theme park. It is a unique world of weather, climate, and climate-change knowledge and experience. On an exhibition space of 124,000 sq-ft, guests can visit the different climate zones along the eighth longitude east, experience the connection between weather and climate, and investigate the causes of climate change. In an exciting and impressive way, the Klimahaus in Bremerhaven demonstrates how each individual can contribute to climate protection.
