DPG renews warning of serious consequences of man-made climate change
More than four decades ago, the German Physical Society warned of the dangers of man-made climate change. Coinciding with the Bonn Climate Change Conference in June 2019, the DPG now renews its appeal to do everything in its power to reduce the resulting additional greenhouse effect to a tolerable level.
Lutz Schröter becomes President of the German Physical Society from 2020 to 2022

Comment on the letter of M. Belogolovskii “Young Ukrainian Physicists who fled the war took part in DPG spring meetings”
I have read this letter and think that the German Physical Society is doing a noble and right thing for the development of science, rendering concrete assistance to those Ukrainian colleagues who found themselves in a difficult situation because of the war in the Donbass.
