Climate change, digitalization and AI, societal upheavals: In the podcast "Focus on Criminal Law," hosts Prof. Dr. Nadine Zurkinden, Assistant Professor at the University of Zurich, and attorney Dr. Claude Eric Bertschinger, lecturer at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), discuss climate change from a sociological perspective with expert Prof. Dr. Bijan Fateh-Moghadam, Professor of Legal Theory and Life Sciences Law at the University of Basel. He argues for a fundamental rethinking of the law, based on new concepts such as the protection of future generations and the recognition of nature as a legal entity. He demonstrates how "a march through the systems" is already enabling change today. The basis for this is the understanding that we live in the Anthropocene, in which the climate system is significantly influenced by human activity.
