Carla attended Werner-von-Siemens-Gymnasium in Berlin-Nikolassee, where she became involved in student activities and served as both a class representative and a student representative—and where her interest in political and social issues developed during her teenage years.

At the age of 13, she attended her first demonstration, which was connected to reactions to the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

She later participated in protests against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and became involved with Fossil Free Münster.

After finishing secondary school, Reemtsma moved to Münster in 2016 to study Politics and Economics at the University of Münster.

She received a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and completed her bachelor’s degree in 2021.

Her bachelor’s thesis examined how to distribute scarce publicly accessible resources, including forests and fish stocks, fairly between generations.

During her university years, she was active outside her studies in several areas. She worked as a gymnastics trainer and judge, participated in student organizations, and joined the university student magazine Semesterspiegel, where she also served as co-editor-in-chief.

She later continued her studies in Berlin, pursuing Integrated Natural Resource Management at Humboldt University.

Personal Life

Carla Reemtsma keeps her romantic life largely private and has not publicly confirmed a spouse or children. She is unmarried and has not publicly disclosed a current partner.

Much of the attention around her personal background comes instead from her family connections, particularly her relationship with fellow climate activist Luisa Neubauer, her cousin.

Her grandmother, Dagmar Reemtsma, also strongly influenced the family’s connection to environmental and social activism.

Carla has said her family generally supports her climate work, although relatives sometimes discuss environmental issues and personal lifestyle choices.

Outside her activism, Reemtsma has maintained interests in sports and student activities. During her university years, she worked as a gymnastics trainer and judge and was involved in student journalism.

She has also spent considerable time on policy research, public speaking, campaign organization, and environmental communication.

Career

Carla Reemtsma became involved in climate activism while studying at the University of Münster. Before joining Fridays for Future, she participated in the local Fossil Free movement, which campaigned against investments in coal, oil, and gas companies.

Her interest in climate issues was also influenced by Greta Thunberg’s 2018 speech at the United Nations climate conference in Katowice.

In 2018, Reemtsma helped build the Fridays for Future group in Münster. She became responsible for organizing demonstrations, registering protests, coordinating communication, and helping attract students and other young people to the movement.

By December 2018 and into early 2019, she was increasingly involved in the organization’s local and national coordination.

Her role expanded as Fridays for Future became a major youth climate movement in Germany. Reemtsma became one of its prominent press representatives and regularly appeared in German media to discuss climate policy and the group’s demonstrations.

She has appeared on programs including Hart aber fair, Markus Lanz, Maybrit Illner and ZDF Magazin Royale. She has also represented the movement at conferences and public discussions.

Beyond Fridays for Future, Reemtsma has worked in climate and social communication. In 2023, she co-founded Das Momentum, an organization that provides press discussions with experts and briefings.
