Travelling round the world non-stop for 10 years! For the past decade, everything in the unique world of knowledge and experience at Climate Museum Bremerhaven 8° East has been about climate change (F

Bremerhaven (ots) -

This is a trip around the world in a few hours, travelling
constantly along the eighth degree of longitude, the central
attraction in the Bremerhaven Climate Museum. The journey takes the
visitor through nine locations over five continents in just a few
hours, bringing climate protection alive for them - without
moralizing or raising an admonishing finger. Visitors become
acquainted with people in stops along the way, like Sardinia, Niger
and the Antarctic, hearing about the challenges they face in coping
with climate change around the world. A stroll through Cameroon's
rainforest? A stopover on Samoa's fine beach sand? Everything on
foot! Meticulously designed backdrops, changing temperatures and more
than 250 species endemic to the original locations go to complete the
impression of a "genuine" world trip to climate hotspots.

The Climate Museum, which is unique in the world, opened its doors
for the first time on June 27, 2009. Ever since, it has drawn
visitors, ensured rising value creation in its vicinity and promoted
the image of the formerly crisis-hit port city.

The Bremerhaven Climate Museum, with its more than five million
visitors annually, is among Germany's most visited worlds of
knowledge and experience. Virtually 100 per cent of its visitors
recommend it to others. In its current form, it is unique, as well as
being a global pioneer to this day as a world of climate experience.

This world of knowledge and experience began highlighting this
important issue and providing information on it, over floor space of
11,500 square metres, long before the current public debate on the
effects of climate change erupted. As a location of extramural
teaching of the highest category, it has repeatedly been recognized
by UNESCO.

"We have attained our goal of turning the Climate Museum into an
international centre of expertise for providing information on
climate issues," Arne Dunker, co-founder and chief executive of
Climate Museum Bremerhaven 8° East, says. "That is a strong incentive
for us to continue to be active in climate protection and to boost
awareness of issues like extreme weather risks."
