Klimaschutz in der Sackgasse: Zwischen klarer Zielsetzung und umstrittenen Lösungswegen

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. While the goal of climate neutrality is widely recognized, there is great disagreement about how to achieve it. How can society deal with this dilemma? One possible answer is common principles for action that consider multiple perspectives. In a real-world laboratory study at the University of Stuttgart, both models for climate neutrality from researchers and ideas on climate neutrality from stakeholders (employees and students) were identified in a survey (n = 1.767) and then evaluated. Ten principles of climate neutrality were derived from this. Due to their broad, robust foundation, these could also be applied in other areas and thus outline common and acceptable paths to climate neutrality.
