“Participatory Climate Justice – Vienna as the Capital of Democracy in the Year of 2025”

The Circle U. Climate Day is an initiative of the Circle U. Knowledge Hub on Climate and will be held for the first time on June 5, 2025 and will take place simultaneously at all nine partner universities of the Circle U. Alliance at the same time. At the University of Vienna, the motto of this day is “Climate Justice Participatory – Vienna as a Capital of Democracy 2025”. The aim is to bundle the knowledge created in various contexts (research, teaching, co-creation with children) for a broad audience in order to address issues of climate justice and develop future perspectives in the year in which Vienna is the European Capital of Democracy.

The Circle U. Climate Day at the University of Vienna invites you to stroll through a marketplace of initiatives in the large
Festsaal, get to know
research, projects and initiatives and get into
conversation. In the Small Ceremonial Hall adolescents of the co-creative climate education project by DOCK for Change will present their vision of the future and introduce a program of interactive workshops and short lectures. A panel discussion on the topic will address questions of participatory climate justice for the city of Vienna. There will also be other hands-on activities.

The Circle U. Climate Day offers a platform for exchange between research, practice and the public in order to develop future perspectives on participatory climate justice for city of Vienna.
