Sustainability Blog

Change can only take place if knowledge is passed on. We're deeply convinced, that education and the exchange of expertise are crucial when it comes to solving the major problems of our time. In addition to the academic courses offered by the Center for International Studies, we created this public blog for sustainability. There are many well produced documentaries, reports and other types of content from all around the world speaking about the challenges of climate change, green energies, water supply and so on, but it can be hard to find access to the media. This blog aims to be a public register, collecting and listing projects for a wider audience.

If you have a particular project that may fit in the feed, please send an Email to presse[at]unikims[dot]de and let us know about it!
