3. Sustainability Congress - 2024

Keynote

In October 2024, I had the honor of giving a keynote speech at the 3rd Sustainability Congress in Berlin, Germany. Hosted by the Berlin Institute over the course of two days, leaders and experts from German DAX companies, such as BMW, Deutsche Telekom, and DHL, as well as from SMEs and start-ups, shared their insights.

With over 200 enthusiastic participants from various industries, it was an inspiring gathering of thought leaders, innovators, and practitioners collaboratively shaping the future of sustainability. Exciting keynotes, groundbreaking presentations, and lively discussions vividly demonstrated the immense potential of sustainable solutions.

My keynote, titled "Vom Schelzen der Zeit: Gletscherfotografie als Aufruf zum Handeln," centered on the powerful role of glacier photography in illustrating climate change and the urgent need for action.

 It’s clear that our climate is not only changing but in crisis. I truly valued the opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about driving change and creating a better future

I aimed to highlight not only the sobering reality of glacier comparisons with the past but also the beauty of glaciers in their various forms. This included everything from abstract patterns to wonderful landscape images.
