In the year 2051, THE DEPARTMENT has decided to organize an academic conference on the challenge of anthropogenic climate change. This is the first of two days in the Mycelium. 30 years after the then-groundbreaking Paris Agreement came into effect, the 2051 Munich Climate Conference has the mandate to look back at the knowledge and discourses in the time of the first truly global agreement to combat climate change. T2051MCC took place on 18–19 September 2021 as a combined online and live event open to the general public.
