Nicole Hartmann

A researcher and assistant professor in greco-roman history, Dr. Nicole Hartmann turned her gaze towards the future in 2019. Since then she initiates and works for projects and campaigns that address the biggest challenges for our civilization: to stop Greenhouse Gas emissions and the loss of biodiversity while securing social justice and stable democracies. In 2021 she co-coordinated the first German Citizen Assembly on Climate. As co-founder and strategist of the Donut Berlin Initiative she aims to provide environments of innovative civil engagement and transformative action for a social and ecological just society. Her work is informed by systems thinking and the concepts of multisolving and deep collaboration. She aims to create tangible practices that open up pathways to a connected and more than cognitive understanding of the polycrisis and to encourage people to envision a livable future and empower them to help change our current destructive trajectory.
