The climate crisis is no longer merely a threat to our physical environment; it is also increasingly taking a toll on our mental health. Hot summer nights, urban heat islands, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events take a toll on both our bodies and our minds. This discussion explores the deep connections between global warming, urban living spaces, and mental well-being. It shows how climate protection measures also help reduce stress, enhance well-being, and foster a sense of community.

In addition to scientific insights, the discussion focuses above all on strengthening personal and collective resilience in order to transform feelings of powerlessness into constructive action and to jointly discuss concrete, healthy prospects for Dresden’s future.
