- Title
Klimakrise als Beziehungskrise – oder: Vom Sinn des Verzichts.

- Abstract
Climate change can be understood as an expression of man’s exploitative relationship with nature. Our exploitation of nature is shaped by technology and modern natural science, which strive to make nature available to us for our needs with as little resistance as possible. This making nature available through technology and science seems to have become the basic attitude in almost all areas of life and even in our relationship to ourselves. Thus, in the course of mechanisation, we have largely smoothed out the resistance of life or shifted it to them argins of our mechanised living world. Now, however, in a technicised world decoupled from nature, we lack the experience of resistance that could still wake us up to the reality of nature, life or our existence. Seen in this way, climate change would not only be an external consequence of mechanisation – it is also the form in which the technically smoothed resistance of nature returns on a global-abstract level. Understood as nature’s resistance, the climate crisis could even become an opportunity. The chance to wake up again to the limits and thus also to the reality of nature and to shape our lives more peacefully in relation to nature and its limits. In particular, the meaningfulness of renunciation becomes apparent. Finally, this relational reading of the climate crisis also enables some references to pedagogical issues.
