When does “more” actually become “too much”? And can “enough” also mean freedom and benefit? How free are our consumption choices really? What can individual action change? And where are political and social structures needed?  The next Münster Climate Discussion on Thursday, November 19, will explore how we deal with possessions, needs, the span of our lives, and societal limits. This joint discussion brings together practice and research: ZIN member Dr. Tobias Gumbert will contribute perspectives from political science based on his research focus (including sustainable consumption and waste policy), while organizational coach Melanie Grund (alternative health practitioner and yoga teacher) will share insights from her own work.

During the event, the two experts hope to engage in dialogue with the audience, who are warmly invited to share their own questions and thoughts.

The discussion will take place on Thursday, November 19, at 7:00 p.m. at the Heeremann’schen Hof (Königsstr. 47, Münster). Admission is free. Registration is not required.

The Münster Climate Talks are organized by a group of supporting organizations consisting of the Center for Interdisciplinary Sustainability Research at the University of Münster (ZIN), the Evangelical Forum, the Umweltforum Münster e. V., the Advisory Board for Municipal Development Cooperation, the Advisory Board for Climate Protection, and the vhs Münster.
