Q BERLIN 2022 focused on our current moment of Zeitenwende, a period of global unknowns. Profound shifts in global dynamics, an ongoing war in Europe, a pandemic spanning more than two years, a looming energy and economic crisis and increasing pressure to accelerate the green transition – all contribute to the state of crisis that defines the world we live in now. This is a historical turning point, and global metropolises are at the heart of the issue. Can we use crises as change agents for the good? How can we work towards global cohesion and solidarity? How can we defend our democracies in a world of fake news and propaganda?
