Zum Inhalt

This volume is the outcome of a scientific workshop on Pursuing Societal Transformation through Education and Knowledge Transfer in Kozani. The workshop was carried out in December 2022 in the framework of a cooperation project financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The project brought together Brandenburg University of Cottbus – Senftenberg (BTU), Germany, and the University of Western Macedonia (UOWM), Kozani, northern Greece.

Climate change stands as one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Halting global warming necessitates significant changes in politics, law, economics, and technology. However, the success of this transformation hinges on having an informed, educated, and engaged society. This imperative is underscored by international agreements, such as Article 6 of the UNFCCC and Article 12 of the Paris Climate Agreement, which highlight the importance of climate education. To achieve these goals, it is essential to establish effective and goal-oriented communication between universities and the general public, fostering a collaborative educational and knowledge transfer landscape for the broader population.

Both UOWM and BTU are located in regions historically tied to lignite mining, which is being phased out due to European and national climate policies. This volume contains various contributions, including case studies of the areas around Kozani and Cottbus/Lusatia, which share similar starting points. In both regions, the cessation of coal usage, industrial decarbonization, and the shift to new economic sectors are paramount societal concerns. Cottbus and Kozani find themselves at the heart of regions undergoing profound changes due to the discontinuation of fossil fuels. Lignite has been a staple of energy production and heating in Cottbus and the surrounding Lusatia region for almost a century, while coal mining formed the basis of energy production in the Kozani area. Consequently, there is an urgent…
