Using knowledge transfer to publicize climate change

The Münster branch of the 'Scientists for Future' initiative supports sustainability with a variety of campaigns and projects. © private source Scientists at Münster University active in the "Scientists for Future" initiative - a guest commentary by Clemens Leonhard If we look at the rate of global warming over the past 150 years, it is clear that we need to act fast and resolutely - not only in order to curb it, but also to stop the widespread extinction of fauna and flora, preserve natural resources and create a worthwhile future for present generations and those to come. As a result, the "Scientists for Future? (s4f) initiative and its Münster branch have a lot to do. Scientists at the University of Münster provide support for the voluntary work being undertaken. S4f has two aims: firstly, to use its own scientific and/or political involvement in order to make proposals for ways and means of helping to curb the harmful consequences of the global, European, German and Münster ways of living, producing and consuming. And secondly: to make this activity an example of scientific transfer. As such, it strives for recognition not only within the scientific community.
