Panel Discussion: 1.5°C is here and now!

Climate change is no longer a distant threat - it is a reality we are facing today. With the 1.5°C threshold already exceeded, how can we communicate urgency without losing trust or clarity? This panel discussion at the University of St. Gallen brings together leading voices from academia, business, and policy to explore how climate communication must evolve. We will address questions around messaging, trust, pedagogy, and responsibility in a world where scientific facts are contested and climate goals shift. Speakers include Sonia Seneviratne (ETH Zürich, IPCC), Sebastian Kaczyński (SAP), Alexander Keberle (economiesuisse), and Fabienne Bünzli (HSG), moderated by student Sofia Deblue from the Managing Climate Solutions (MaCS) program. Join us on Wednesday, 21 May 2025 at 14:15, at SQUARE, University of St. Gallen, for an inspiring exchange — followed by an apéro.
