 Hi, here's InterGioTV Live from InterGio 2022 in Essen. And right now I have the honor to do an interview with Professor Martina Klerle. So welcome here at InterGioTV. It's an honor for me. So just let me introduce, make a brief introduction of Martina Klerle. She is president of the Baden-Württemberg Co-operative University and previously she was vice president for research and transfer at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and she is a practitioner with own companies. And she's a land manager. She deals with planning, land management, renewable energies, environmental management and horrible acclimations. And she was part of the international press conference that just took place here at InterGio where the topic was climate change and the contribution to your desi and geo information can do. So Martina, you have been burning for climate change for a long time. So what is the role when we stick to the conference of geo desi for climate protection, for changes, for technologies, for things innovations we also see here? Yes, we have a job to do. I think there is a big challenge that we all fight against the climate change. And each person, each engineer have to do what he can do. And for me it's we are able to select data, we are able to make calculation and we are able to design the world to find out for example where the right places for windmills or for solar panels for biomass. And I think we all are able to make the calculation where the politics need to produce more and more renewable energy, see a two neutral energy. And I think we maybe we are not confident enough to do that. And I hope that the family of civil engineers and survey and of course, geometric engineer much more confident and do their job to fight against the climate change and to work for the climate adaption. And you just mentioned it, so technologies, achievements here from signs and the companies can help politics to do decisions to do the right decisions for our climate. And yeah, those cities and municipalities are facing that change and they have to achieve the climate goals because we only have this planet we are living on. And what is your advice to those responsible in politics and administration to do so far, just here on signs or here on companies or here to geodesists or what shall they do? Because sometimes we also heard in the press conference there's still so much to do but actually climate is not on the prior position in their decisions. I think the world is so complex and so complicated. Often it's the break for us to do something because we can't understand everything because the world is too complex. So it's important that we know the aim, that we know the aim and the aim is to be CO2 neutral and to reach them we have to go small steps, baby steps and throw it away. The complication things do that what you can maybe make the calculation, collect the data, for example, to know where the right place is for windbills or so on. And the way is to start to do the first step is very, very important. If you maybe make a calculation for solar panels like a solar disaster or for rooftop disaster, for green roofs, for example, everything is a small step to work against the climate change and it's necessary, it's absolutely necessary. If we don't do that we will have more human suffering, more flows of refuges and we can do something against it. The mayors on their side, the minister president on the other side and we engineers, geomatics engineers can do also something. For me at the moment the very important thing is if you want to be a hero for your nation be an engineer and do your work. Okay, okay, we will note that and what do you think? You just spoke about becoming climate neutral and if you want to become the first continent to be climate neutral do you think that we will achieve that until 2030, 2040 or? Yes, of course, we have everything to achieve that. We have the areas, we have the fields, we have... Okay, we know where to put the solar energy. Yes, we have the money for do that. But it's of course a hard way because the process, the administration is complicated and this is our biggest step we have to do that we find a way with the administration to be fast. And once again the climate change, we are fit for 55, we can, we have everything, we have the money, we have the areas, we have the technology that's very important and now we shall use our brains and our way to discuss and to decide of course to reach them. Sometimes I think, what is the reason why we are so slow? But I think if we go back 10 years back we reached a lot, for example in Germany we have at the moment 50% renewable energy in the electric part and 10 years ago we only have 10%. So we reached a lot and we, I think, I'm sure. Good news, we do not hear a lot at the moment. These are really good news. Yes, that's a typical European and much more typical German way to to discuss. We talk about the bad things but we have so lot great things that we already reach and often it's necessary to talk about that what we reach. We have reached a lot and now we must go on, be stronger and to be faced on that aim to be CO2 neutral. Perfect words to end this short talk here at interview about the climate change. So thank you very much Martina Klärle. Go ahead, change the world, protect the planet. We need powerful and smart women as you are. Thank you very much. Thank you also.
