Watch recording: Reconstructing the Future. Cities as Carbon Sinks
'Reconstructing the Future. Cities as Carbon Sinks' – The most recent edition of our HENN Akademie on December 1, 2022 with Prof. Dr. Philipp Misselwitz (Bauhaus Earth), Prof. Giovanni Betti (HENN/UdK) and Martin Henn (HENN) is now available to watch online.
The history of human-kind has seen the accelerating urbanization of the globe, propagating the relentless extraction of planetary resources. The ecological and social impacts of conventional construction methods have been, are, and will be devastating – only a complete systemic overhaul of the built environment will prevent a global climate catastrophe. By switching to regenerative design and bio-based materials, cities can act as carbon sinks and create equitable development opportunities.
Bauhaus Earth is a Berlin/Potsdam based non-profit organization founded in 2019 by climate scientist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber and dedicated to a regenerative transformation of the built environment. At HENN Akademie, Bauhaus Earth will present its vision for climate-positive cities and its work at the intersection of applied research, demonstration projects and advocacy.
