Tour: The oil price shock and the environmental movement in the 1970s and 1980s

This guided tour of the exhibition “Schmidt! Living Democracy”, the focus is on key themes of the 1970s and 1980s: the oil crises, the debate on the “The Limits to Growth. A Report for the Club of Rome’s Project on the Predicament of Mankind”, new energy policies, and the emergence of the environmental and anti-nuclear movements.

Together, we will examine political decisions, social conflicts and the question of how these debates continue to shape our present day and what implications they have for democracy.
 

The tour is part of our programme for Hamburg Sustainability Week.
