Moderator Sustainability

With an experienced climate moderator, you benefit from the highest level of moderation of sustainable topics. Thanks to numerous references, including at the World Climate Conference (COP), federal ministries, and panels with a wide range of renowned experts, Julius Neumann brings in-depth expertise and stage presence as a sustainability moderator. As a trained industrial engineer, he is able to explain complex issues in a comprehensible way: be it the physical background of global warming, the functioning of technical solutions such as heat pumps, or the social context surrounding the acceptance of sustainable solutions.

As a moderator for sustainability, Julius Neumann brings three things that distinguish him:

• First, this is the technical and economic understanding of an industrial engineer . This allows them to maintain an overview of complex topics such as technologies related to the energy transition (e.g., heat pumps or electric cars). At the same time, they can place these topics in their overall economic and societal context and clarify the often complex connections by asking the right questions .
• In addition, he specializes in a wide range of future-oriented topics as a moderator . This leads to an increase in knowledge with each subsequent event, from which future sustainability events benefit. 
• Furthermore, as a member of Gen Z, he brings a breath of fresh air to your event . His relaxed, easygoing style on stage helps keep the audience engaged even when discussing difficult topics.

Professional moderation at sustainability events actively ensures the comprehensibility of complex sustainability topics. As a moderator, Julius Neumann delves deeply into the topics of your event and translates them into understandable words, images, and stories . This is a crucial task for a successful event, and one that often – understandably – occurs within organizing teams at very short notice .

A professional not only moderates, but also shapes discussions, leads interactive formats, encourages genuine participation and conveys complex content in a well-founded and inspiring way.

What constitutes professional moderation:

• Deep content expertise: The moderator actively contributes specialist knowledge of sustainability, climate protection, and social contexts and can question participants critically but appreciatively.

• Interactive engagement:  Instead of simply managing the process, we encourage discussion, engage the audience, and incorporate diverse perspectives. This creates stimulus for reflection and concrete solutions.

• Meaningful structure: Professional moderation provides the event with a common and visual thread, so that the central theme of sustainability is communicated in an understandable way.

• Individual impulses: The professional moderator offers inspiring key questions, openly addresses social challenges, and helps ensure that sustainability is integrated into the participants’ everyday lives in a comprehensible way.

• Crisis management: In the event of unexpected situations and short-term program changes (e.g., speakers falling ill or delays in the program), a trained moderator can confidently manage the event, maintain focus, and convey security.

In contrast, simply “leading through the program” often stops at formal introductions and conclusions, offers no depth of content, and usually allows less real participation.

Your sustainability facilitator develops customized concepts that are precisely tailored to your company, your target audience, and your event. Through tailor-made facilitation, they convey your message in a targeted and authentic manner. Comprehensive preparation with precise coordination is crucial for this (see the next section).

First and foremost, the mindset and attitude toward these topics are important. The moderator’s holistic approach to a sustainable future fit for our grandchildren enables a variety of input during the event to address sustainability. 

Julius Neumann also takes practical measures to ensure low-carbon moderation. These include traveling exclusively by train, using green electricity in business operations, and generally conserving resources by extending the operating hours of technical equipment and other materials.

More important than the specific carbon footprint of the presentation, however, is the handprint : how many people can we inspire at your event to make systemic changes? Be it within the company that changes business processes in the future and actually saves resources. Or be it further behavioral changes among larger groups that move us as a society toward social tipping points and thus actually move closer to climate neutrality.

As an industrial engineer and part of Generation Z, Julius Neumann blends a serious with a relaxed, personable moderation style when it comes to events. This is in line with the trend of many events that are more casual, relaxed, and with a greater focus on fun, discussion, and learning. He naturally adapts to your needs and your audience.
