Heat exhaustion, ragweed asthma, tiger mosquitoes and corona - the effects of the global climate and the environmental crisis are increasingly affecting not only our weather and our forests, but also have very direct effects on our health, both physical and mental. This is the subject of the book "Überhitzt," which was published in May of this year. Authors Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann and Katja Trippel talk to experts and thought leaders who are looking for ways to counteract these effects. They comprehensively show the health consequences of climate change in our latitudes, describe causes and symptoms, and seek answers to the question of how we can still lead a life worth living in old age. After all, we have no time to lose! Our well-being depends on the well-being of the planet. At this event, the two authors will talk about many of these topics with science communicator and astrophysicist Harald Lesch.
