In an interview in the HU News room, Jörg Niewöhner talks about how we ignore the consequences of our lifestyle and why dealing with the climate and energy crisis is also a question of perspective. 14 researchers of IRI THESys have been monitoring the situation in different countries for months. Their findings were presented publicly at a KOSMOS-Lecture on June 15, 2023.
A newspaper article in the Tagesspiegel describes how the IRI THESys project Water security for whom? explores mega-dams and where the challenges lie on the ground. The interdisciplinary project investigates in/equalities around multipurpose reservoirs in Colombia.
In this concise writing for the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS), Dr. Beril Ocaklı revisits the saga of the now complete nationalisation of Kyrgyzstan’s largest gold mine ‘Kumtor’. Therein, she spotlights the insidious slow violence that the Kyrgyzstani state perpetuates through gold mining and conceals through the never-ending resource controversies around lost and found Kumtor gold.
IRI THESys Member Robert Arlinghaus was awarded the Inter Circle U Prize 2022 for his inter- and transdisciplinary work. In this YouTube video showing the award ceremony, he talks about his research dealing with solutions for sustainable fisheries.
