In color psychology, green is considered the color of hope. And that’s what people need now in view of the major challenges posed by war, pandemics, climate change and the energy crisis. Ideas, opinions and projects that inspire courage come from Hamburg: On Thursday, June 30th and Friday, July 1st, 2022, the third EuroMinds economic summit will take place in the Helmut Schmidt Auditorium of the Bucerius Law School.
More than 40 experts, decision-makers and opinion leaders from business, politics, science, media and culture will have their say in nine panels, including the SPD Federal Chairman Lars Klingbeil and the First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Peter Tschentscher. The message coming from Congress is that the current problems are big but not insurmountable.

How do we bring claim and reality together? That’s the question asked by the participants in the panel “Tomorrow’s economy, ecological, digital and social – but also efficient?” Claudia Kemfert, Head of the Energy, Transport, Environment Department at the German Institute for Economic Research.
“Climate protection must be thought of globally and must not become a competitive disadvantage for German and European companies!” demands Marc S. Tenbieg and therefore advocates a “climate club” of the leading industrial nations.

Claudia Kemfert would like to stop the installation of gas heating and see heat pump technology massively promoted. In the TV talk show Anne Will, she predicted that heating costs for private households would be three to four times higher than in the previous year.
