Julia Pongratz discusses the climate crisis and the path to climate neutrality. On 8 October, she will explore these topics further in her lecture at the Leopoldina in Halle.
How are projections of global warming evolving? What role does land use play in climate change? Is German policy doing enough to achieve climate targets? And what technological solutions could help us on the path to climate neutrality?
In an interview with the Leopoldina, the German National Academy of Sciences, Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz addresses key questions surrounding the climate crisis. She discusses the challenges of climate change, the importance of land use, and possible ways to advance the changes needed to achieve a climate-neutral future.
On 8 October 2026, Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz will be a guest at the Leopoldina in Halle. In her public lecture, “How Do We Turn the Corner? The Path to a Climate-Neutral Future,” she will explore key questions surrounding climate neutrality and how it can be achieved. The lecture ist free of charge and no registration is needed.

Where do Germany and the world stand today? What progress has been made in reducing emissions, and what role could methods for removing CO₂ from the atmosphere play? The lecture offers an opportunity to learn more about current scientific findings and the challenges involved in achieving climate neutrality.
Those who would like to learn more about Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz's perspectives and research before the event will find the interview with the Leopoldina a useful introduction. Read the full interview here.
