Moving with words: The power of narratives for our future. How new narratives can create solutions to the climate crisis

The climate crisis is our biggest challenge - ecologically, socially and in terms of communication. But why do we find it so difficult to clearly state the urgency of the crisis and find solutions? Narratives play a central role in this. They are not only created by the media, but also in society itself, and influence how we perceive and react to the climate crisis.

In this exchange, we want to examine how both the media and social discourses can reinforce or overcome polarization. What responsibility do the media and we as a society have when it comes to spreading constructive narratives? How can we shape narratives together that do not divide but connect - and that do not paralyze but motivate action?

Together, we want to discuss how we can create a narrative that enables us to develop concrete solutions and find new ways of dealing with the climate crisis.
