Harald Welzer: Transformation in the Face of Headwinds
The sustainability dialogue with Harald Welzer on the topic “Transformation in the Face of Headwinds—New Paths Toward a Socio-Ecological Future,” held on October 28, 2026, was recorded. The link to the recording is available on this page.
The socio-ecological and climate-protective transformation faces stronger opposition than ever before, and confidence in the possibility of successful change is waning. How can one act realistically, effectively, and successfully in such a situation? This is the “million-dollar question” that the social psychologist and author will discuss with Mayor Gert-Uwe Mende, Mayor Christiane Hinninger, and the audience.
Professor Dr. Harald Welzer is a renowned sociologist, social psychologist, and publicist who is considered one of the leading figures in the study of social change. His academic work and his numerous bestsellers explore the interplay between the climate crisis, the culture of memory, and the need for social transformation.
Petra Boberg moderated the event. It was organized by the Wiesbaden Environmental Agency in cooperation with RheinMain University of Applied Sciences.
