Circle U. Climate Day 2025

A Circle U. event

The Circle U. Climate Day, an initiative of the Circle U. Knowledge Hub on Climate, takes place at all nine universities of the Circle U. alliance for the first time on 5 June 2025. At the University of Vienna the Climate Day is guided by the motto “Participatory Climate Justice – Vienna as the Capital of Democracy in the Year of 2025”. In the year of Vienna being the European Capital of Democracy, we are presenting knowledge created in various contexts (research, teaching, co-creation with children) to a wide audience, discussing climate change and climate justice to develop future perspectives.

The good future - Kick-off with DOCK for Change

10:30 - 11:30 / Small Ceremonial Hall / German

Young people from two Viennese climate clubs and the Children's Office of the University of Vienna open the Circle U. Climate Day with a journey into the good future! As part of the co-creative climate education project DOCK for Change, 20 children and young people worked together with 40 encouraging partners from science, business, politics and NGOs to develop an inspiring vision and set the mood for an exciting conference day: What could an ecologically sustainable, socially just and peaceful urban coexistence look like in 2045? What role does science play on the way there? And how can we take competent, rebellious action together?
