The city of Stuttgart has launched the new #jetztklimachen podcast to present climate protection in a tangible and motivating way. From October 24, 2024, a new episode will be released every two weeks on popular podcast platforms. Hosted by Chris Veit and Joti Fotiadis, the podcast introduces interesting personalities who share their approaches to climate protection. In the first episode, Tanja Goldstein talks about zero waste and plant-based nutrition. The podcast is intended to inspire listeners to take action and is part of the city's #jetztklimachen campaign.

"The podcast is intended to whet the appetite. It's like an appetizer that invites listeners to continue exploring the 'climate' menu, perhaps even to achieve concrete success with their own project - and perhaps to tell others about it at some point," emphasizes Jan Kohlmeyer, Head of the Climate Protection Department of the City of Stuttgart.
