Luisa Neubauer is one of the best-known faces of the climate movement, which has been fighting for years to ensure a livable future on our planet. In her book What If We Are Brave?, she analyzes the power struggles behind the climate crisis and calls for a change of perspective: If facts no longer reach people, positive storytelling should show how climate action can lead to a better life. Her book is a plea for a societal intervention. In the view of criminal law professor Frauke Rostalski, on the other hand, responsibility for climate protection does not lie with activists and civil society, but somewhere else: In her book Wer soll was tun? [“Who Should Do What?”] (to be published in September 2025), she calls for global solutions to a global problem. The two will discuss how best to tackle this challenge facing humanity. Host: Catherine Newmark
