There are currently 14 local diversity groups within the Max Planck Society. One of them is the Diversity and Inclusion working group at the MPI for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, Holland. Initiated by Director Caroline Rowland, it began its work in January 2021. Since then, the group, consisting of 22 participants from various areas of the Institute, has been driving comprehensive cultural change – from the inside out.

2023 was another year of climate extremes. The global average temperature this year was 1.48 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average. At the same time, there were exceptional heatwaves and droughts, extreme storms and catastrophic rainfall. Studies by the European consortium Xaida, in which a team from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry is also involved, now confirm that such anthropogenic climate change makes extreme weather and climate events more likely and more severe. Partner organizations in the consortium have now presented analyses of how global warming has influenced individual extreme events.
