Samuel Eberenz (he or they) is the Science Poetry Editor at Consilience Journal and has been co-organizing Labor mit Utopieverdacht since 2015 – an open event format in constant struggle with the inaccessibility of utopia and reality alike. With a background in climate sciences, Sam has been working as a project manager for climate and energy at the Risk Dialogue Foundation in Zurich since 2021.

He aims to facilitate dialogues on technological and societal change – always on the lookout for a good and just life within planetary boundaries. Recently, he has been unravelling the perceived antagonism between emphasising urgency to deal with climate collapse and emphasising agency and hope as the key components for effective climate communication.
