The people on the second largest continent are the least responsible for the climate catastrophe. They are generally referred to as "climate losers". Almost 1.4 thousand million people live on the African continent and they are particularly hard hit by the effects of the climate change, and even more so those who already live in poverty. There are no "winners" of the climate catastrophe because extreme weather and its consequences do not stop at national borders. Global warming and the associated ecological, economic, political and social upheavals will affect everyone in the long term.
The energy sector, for example, is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, as are industry and agriculture. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change measures to combat climate change are still too slow and not ambitious enough.
At the same time renewable energies are continuously further developed worldwide and in this live broadcast within the framework of the long-standing cooperation with the human rights film festival this human world the guests will talk about the film festival and especially about the film evening on 5 December at Top Kino where the documentary films Terra Mater – Motherland and A Letter from Yene will be shown in another cooperation with the Vienna Institute for International Dialogue and Cooperation VIDC. This will be followed by a panel discussion. The APPEAR project SEA4cities – Sustainable Energy Access for Sustainable Cities – a higher education cooperation between Austria and Senegal, funded by the ADC and implemented by the OeAD, will be presented at the podium and in an interview, using a sustainable city project in Diamniadio in Dakar as an example.
