Arctic Meltdown in Göttingen: Robert Habeck analyzes the remeasurement of the world
When the eternal ice melts, not only landscapes shift, but also power dynamics. At the event Empore: Arctic Meltdown, Robert Habeck speaks on October 7, 2026, in the Sheddachhalle at Sartorius Quartier about the geopolitical significance of the Arctic and the repercussions of its rapid warming.
Between ice boundaries and world politics
The Arctic was long considered a natural boundary of civilization. Today, it is at the center of international interests. New trade routes, strategic sea passages, and gigantic natural resource deposits are changing the political landscape. In his book Arctic Meltdown: The Remeasurement of the World, Robert Habeck traces the history of this region and connects it to the current conflicts of the international order.
An evening for political observers and literature enthusiasts
The focus is on the strategies of the USA, China, and Russia, as well as the question of how the race for the Arctic impacts security, peace, and the rule-based world order. The event experience combines literary analysis with political background knowledge in a concentrated atmosphere at the Göttingen Sartorius Quartier.
