An Evening Between Science and Urban Dialogue
The format focuses on understandability rather than distance: data, consequences, and solutions are at the center, along with the question of how climate impacts affect coexistence, economy, and daily life. This exciting mix of facts, context, and debate makes the event experience at Degginger so engaging. Here, science meets public sentiment, and a lecture transforms into an evening of relevance for the whole city.

Degginger as a Lively Place for Exchange
Degginger is much more than just an event venue: the historic building at Wahlenstraße 17 serves as a space for creativity, culture, and innovation. According to the city of Regensburg, it offers 250 square meters for lectures, discussion forums, workshops, and encounters. The building is located in the old town, has information on accessibility, and is well-connected. For visitors, this creates a compact urban setting with atmosphere and closeness to the topic.

Why the Date is Worth It
Those who do not want to leave climate impacts to the headlines will receive solid preliminary reporting live on stage here. The evening combines insight, orientation, and concrete future questions. This makes it interesting for everyone who does not think of sustainability, climate change, and economic development as separate but wants to experience them together.

Conclusion: This evening does not deliver an abstract theory paper but a dense mix of science, conversation, and relevance. Those who want to understand how climate change shapes prosperity, daily life, and the future should experience Degginger live on June 24, 2026.
