Unveiling the Connections of a Complex World: How Can we Make our Societies More Resilient in Times of a Pandemic?
Fri | Nov 06, 2020 | 16.00 - 17.30 CET
IASS Potsdam, Women Leaders for Planetary Health, Technische Universität Berlin, KLUG – Deutsche Allianz Klimawandel und Gesundheit | Kathleen Mar, Martin Herrmann, Martina Schäfer, Nicole de Paula, Ortwin Renn
It’s about way more than a vaccine: scientific responses for building resilience and supporting health and sustainability in the wake of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economic and social life across the globe, causing over 800,000 deaths worldwide so far. The pandemic and our responses to it raise fundamental questions about sustainability: how can we redesign our health, social, and economic systems to be resilient in the face of eminent crises? How can we make our societies more resilient to cope with severe threats?
In our event we will explore these questions and the role that science can play in offering solutions – solutions that go far beyond the development of a vaccine. Whether it be the next pandemic or the climate crisis, our global society is increasingly confronted with so-called wicked problems: complex phenomena characterized by uncertainties in causal relationships, ambiguities in interpretation of the problem itself and possible solutions, and often related to issues that are highly controversial.
Facing these challenges requires integration of knowledge from many academic disciplines as well as from non-academic practitioners (e.g., from civil society and politics), an idea which is encompassed in the concept of transdisciplinary research. Our event provides diverse perspectives on the complex interconnections between human health, the health of the planet, and the societal structures support and hinder the sustainability of both.

Re-Using CO2? From Whether to How
CCU emerging technologies and climate: challenges, evaluation and implementation
Mon | Nov 09, 2020 | 15.00 - 16.00 CET
IASS Potsdam, University of Sheffield, RWTH Aachen Universität, Technische Universität Berlin | Volker Sick, Lorenzo Cremonese, Stephen McCord, Tim Langhorst
The CO2nsisten Team is happy to present its research activity on CO2 utilization technologies and related assessment methodologies. The project, funded for three years, is financed by the Global CO2 Initiative and the EIT Climate-KIC.
The team will describe the dual character of its work: investigating disciplinary aspects such as how to properly evaluate CCU technologies (techno-economic and Life Cycle assessments), while having also a relevant focus on informing and supporting decision- and policy-makers.
During the Berlin Science Week, the team members aims to reach out a broader audience beyond their usual targets: journalists, young scientists, NGOs, etc. The ultimate aim is to facilitate the understanding on a rather technical topic via mean of accessible language, practical examples, solution-oriented narratives, and interactions with the webinar participants. Come and join the webinar to discover CCU potentials for the future worldwide energy system!
This is a digital event via Zoom. If you would like to attend please book your spot by 4 November. The access to the event will be provided through the organiser and after registration. The number of participants is limited to 40.
