On November 5th of 2015, the Human Impacts Institute headed to Berlin, Germany, to conclude their 9-city tour on creatively communicating climate action with Human Impacts Berlin: Crossing the Transatlantic Climate Bridge.  

Human Impacts Berlin was a one-night event of live performance, inspired conversation and networking for climate action.  Together, we'll take a look at diverse people leading the way on climate action from Berlin to San Francisco--and we'll learn how to inspire more action and to build the climate community from leaders in activism, policy, design, education, and more. 

Our climate action experts included: 
Camilla Bausch, Ecologic Institute 
Antje von Broock, Friends of the Earth Germany
Carel Carlowitz Mohn, Klima Fakten

Human Impacts Berlin was the final installment of the Human Impacts Salon series, where HII traveled to 8 cities across the United States learning from and sharing resources on climate action. Human Impacts Berlin highlighted the work being done in both the U.S. and in Germany on climate in an inspirational atmosphere. We will examine how climate change is being addressed across sectors such as finance, design, communication, policy, and art. We will look to artists and communicators that are disseminating climate information in ways that speak personally to individuals by honing in on the psychology of decision-making and action. Our panelists will speak of their own expertise, ranging from climate justice to architecture to convey how climate change is an umbrella issue that must be taken on in a diverse and comprehensive way. To close the salon series, the Creative Climate Berlin will summarize experience from the U.S. and link it with the German concepts to get to a common understanding of what needs to be done for climate action. 

Our partners include:
The Federal Environment Ministry of the Environment of Germany and The Transatlantic Climate Bridge
