Klimaschutz - soz. Gerechtigkeit
Climate protection or social justice?

The author Karl-Martin Hentschel says: "People with low incomes are significantly more affected by climate change. They are also more affected by price increases of food, (...) electricity and heating and by other kinds of purchases that are influenced by climate policy. (...) Therefore, the Paris Agreement will only be successfully implemented if social justice is considered from the beginning.

Digitisation and the public

With blogs, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and co., citizens can inform themselves directly about other citizens. This affects the power of interpretation of the traditional media. Against this backdrop, word creations like "fake news" on the one hand mark a state of affairs. On the other hand, they are themselves instruments in the struggle for interpretive sovereignty.
