The American Council on Germany and the Goethe-Institut are holding a series of in-person events across the United States highlighting how German and American journalists based in the United States see political and social developments in Germany, the United States, and internationally. Our guests will address a range of topics that affect citizens in both countries.

Following the in-person gatherings, the discussions are released as podcasts.


From sea-level rise, melting glaciers and extreme heat waves to the transition to renewables- climate change affects everyone, it’s the biggest story of our time. How are a climate activists in both the US and Germany addressing the topic? What is at stake and how could the US election impact the future of fossil fuels? Is there more awareness for climate change in Germany than in the US?

We are talking to Luisa Neubauer, climate activist from Germany and the most prominent representative of the German climate movement and Bill McKibben, environmental activist, educator, founder of Third Act and author of many books. Moderated by Sabrina Shankman, who is reporting on climate change for the Boston Globe.
