In the September 2019 issue of the music periodical  nmz (Neue Musikzeitung) , German composer and concert educator Bernhard König published an essay entitled “Monteverdi und der Klimawandel” [Monteverdi and Climate Change]. What König wrote there represented some important food for thought for many at our institution, and even just his title alludes to a question that poses itself to all of us who work in the cultural field or at a university: What can I do to protect the climate in my area of work?
