"We have to convert knowledge into action – there is no such thing as 'business as usual'!" –Johannes Vogel, Director General of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, addresses the general public with these haunting words and short films, which were created as part of the SAVE THE FUTURE Festival in Berlin.
The videos were part of the QR code course (ÜBER)LEBEN ("survive/live"), which allowed the festival visitors to immerse into the fragile world of dwindling biodiversity. Excerpts will remain available on the museum's YouTube channel.
Biodiversity is one of the most complex and fascinating phenomena on earth. It is one of the most important components for the functioning of global ecosystems and represents the basis for the existence and future of mankind. As a result of human interventions in nature, countless animals and plants are disappearing from our planet – and the Anthropocene is leaving its mark.
IPCC Assessment Report on Climate Change
On the occasion of the 54th IPCC Plenary Session (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the sixth IPCC Assessment Report on Climate Change was presented at an online press conference in August 2021.
The report summarizes the state of scientific knowledge on the scientific basis of climate change. It describes the current state of the of the world's climate and models of its future development. It also provides important information on the associated risks for humans and nature and analyses the need for emission reductions to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement.
"Lazima tubadilishe maarifa kuwa vitendo <unk> hakuna kitu kama 'biashara kama kawaida'!" Johannes Vogel, Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Jumba la Makumbusho la Mafundisho ya Asili Berlin, anawaelekeza umma kwa maneno haya ya kuvutia na filamu fupi, ambazo ziliundwa kama sehemu ya Tunza Baadaye tamasha huko Berlin. Video hizo zilikuwa sehemu ya kozi ya QR code (Uber) LEBEN ("kuishi") ambayo iliwawezesha wageni wa tamasha hilo kuzamisha ulimwengu dhaifu wa utofauti wa kibiolojia unaopungua. Sehemu za maandishi hayo zitapatikana kwenye kituo cha YouTube cha jumba hilo la makumbusho. Tofauti za kibiolojia ni mojawapo ya mambo magumu na yenye kuvutia zaidi duniani. Ni moja ya vipengele muhimu zaidi kwa ajili ya utendaji wa mifumo ya ikolojia ya kimataifa na inawakilisha msingi wa kuwepo na siku zijazo za binadamu. Kama matokeo ya uingiliaji wa binadamu katika asili, wanyama na mimea isiyohesabika inapotea kutoka sayari yetu <unk> na Anthropocene inaacha alama yake. Ripoti ya tathmini ya IPCC juu ya mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa (IPCC) ilitolewa katika mkutano wa waandishi wa habari wa mtandaoni mnamo Agosti 2021. Ripoti hiyo inaelezea kwa ufupi hali ya maarifa ya kisayansi juu ya msingi wa kisayansi wa mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa. Inaelezea hali ya sasa ya hali ya hewa ya ulimwengu na mifano ya maendeleo yake ya baadaye. Pia hutoa habari muhimu juu ya hatari zinazohusiana na wanadamu na asili na kuchambua haja ya kupunguza uzalishaji ili kufikia malengo ya Mkataba wa Paris.
