Strong grasroot movement, for example the sucessful public protest against the expansion of the airport.
17. What are the remaining challenges and/or limitations for further development? Character count 300 words.:
The program is very compact, around 60 events in 14 days. This is helpful for a public discussion, bat also difficult for the actors. Futrue developement has to deal with this.
18. What is the project’s contribution to innovative and transformative educational processes for sustainable development (especially regarding formal and/ non-formal learning/research)? Character count 500 words:
The project is based on non-formal learning in all age. It keeps the oportunity to test new ESD concepts, this year exspecially factory and street tours. The integration of education events in rooms and manifestations in public space is a innovative speciality.

With the current concept there is perhaps no big space for upscaling, see point 17th. A new oporunity is the now permanent financial support by the city of munich.

20. How does you project contribute institutional and policy reforms as part of sustainability change? Character count 500 words:
For the contributing institutions the Klimaherbst is a space in which they are able to develop new ESD concepts and to test them. The exchange with other partners provoke also institutional innovation.
