Mit dem völkerrechtlich verbindlichen Übereinkommen von Paris ist die globale Energiewende als ein zentrales Instrument gegen die Klimaänderungen eingeläutet worden. Es gilt, jetzt die Weichen für die kommenden Jahrzehnte zu stellen ‐ worauf dabei geachtet werden sollte, zeigen vier Bücher, die sich von verschiedenen Seiten dem Klimathema nähern.

Nachhaltigkeitspartizipation ist ein zeitlich strukturierter Prozess. Anhand einer Fallstudie zeigen wir, wie die zeitliche Strukturierung mit klassischen Herausforderungen von Partizipation (Exklusivität, Wissens- und Machtasymmetrien, Kompromiss- und Entscheidungsdruck) verbunden ist und welche Aspekte Planer(innen) bei der Gestaltung der Prozesse berücksichtigen sollten.Participation processes in sustainability transformations produce specific time patterns. These involve, for instance, recurring patterns of scheduling and meeting agendas. Based on a case study of a participation process, we show that its time patterns are deeply entangled with prevalent challenges of participation. The time structure creates pressure for taking fast decisions and impedes raising objections. Moreover, it facilitates knowledge and power inequalities between the participants and legitimizes the exclusion of stakeholders from the process. In this perspective, time becomes a crucial dimension of participation processes: Giving attention to time allows to address some of their frequent pitfalls.

Das interdisziplinäre Projekt Arts of Change ‐ Change of Arts, initiiert vom studentischen Verein forum n, bietet Studierenden aller österreichischen Kunsthochschulen die Möglichkeit, Projekte an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und sozial-ökologischer Transformation zu realisieren. Dabei wirken die jungen Künstler(innen) als Multiplikator(inn)en für Nachhaltigkeit an ihren Hochschulen und darüber hinaus. Im Kern geht es bei Arts of Change darum, das Potenzial der Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft im Bereich der Nachhaltigkeit aufzuzeigen.

Im Rahmen der Studie werden Klimawandelkapitel in Schulbüchern analysiert und Vorschläge zu Gestaltung und Struktur von Schulbüchern entwickelt.Uncertainties are transparently presented and communicated in the Assessment Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This study examines the extent to which textbooks reflect this discourse, in the sense of the Nature of Science. The aim is to identify the representation of both virtually certain findings and uncertainties on the topic of climate change in textbooks. For this purpose, climate change chapters in lower and upper secondary school geography textbooks were analyzed, using qualitative content analysis with deductive-inductive category formation according to Philipp Mayring. It was discovered that uncertainties are represented predominantly by linguistic means (e. g., subjunctive), while technical terminology (such as that of the IPCC) is hardly used. Similar results can be seen for virtually certain findings.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many people have changed established routines in everyday life, often involuntarily. Some of these changes implied a lowering of carbon emissions. Will this behavior change lead to sustainable habits that extend beyond the pandemic? Recapitulating conditions of behavior change, we suggest policy measures that could support a lasting adoption of low-carbon habits.In the course of the COVID-19 crisis, there were a number of behavioral adaptations to the extraordinary conditions that temporarily reduced individual carbon footprints. The question is whether these short-term changes will evolve into sustainable behavioral habits and how to support these changes through policy measures. During the three waves of the pandemic, there has been an increase in surveys as well as in social science studies and research in Germany and other countries on the topic of behavioral changes due to the pandemic. The paper recapitulates what is known about behavior change from psychology and sociology, and synoptically summarizes the preliminary findings from the empirical studies conducted so far. The emphasis will be on the behavioral changes, with a focus on mobility and work routines, as witnessed in Germany. However, the insights from Germany may also shed a light on similar processes in other countries.

Die Wirksamkeit von Effizienzmaßnahmen wird in vielen Bereichen allerdings durch Rebound-Effekte infrage gestellt. Forschungsprojekte einer sozial-ökologischen Fördermaßnahme des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) zur umfassenden Untersuchung von Rebound-Effekten haben die bisher vorwiegend ökonomischen Forschungsansätze deutlich erweitert und zeigen neue Perspektiven auf.

Economic disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine provide insights into how climate change may threaten global supply chains in a not-so-distant future. The EU is addressing strategic vulnerabilities, particularly in the sphere of fossil fuel supply, while seeking to maintain its climate ambition. However, the EU has failed to make more far-reaching changes to its economic model and relations with international partners. These are urgently needed to address the root causes of the current crisis.

Die Auswirkungen der globalen Veränderungen des Klimas werden immer stärker spürbar. Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz und zur Klimawandelanpassung müssen auf allen Ebenen gesetzt und aus allen Gesellschaftsbereichen mitgetragen werden. Die Wissenschaft liefert Erkenntnisse dafür, deren Kommunikation und Übersetzung in alltagstaugliche Handlungsoptionen eine große Herausforderung ist. Die neun Hochschulen der Steirischen Hochschulkonferenz haben dazu eine Ausstellung mit dem Titel Klimakrise und Bewusstseinswandel entwickelt.
