Climate Science

Der Klimawandel zählt zu den größten Herausforderungen, die wir derzeit als Gesellschaft zu bewältigen haben. Doch die bisherigen Maßnahmen der Politik reichen nicht aus.

Pena la nostra stessa fine.

Seit mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert ist bekannt, dass sich die Menschheit durch Umweltzerstörung und die Aufheizung des Klimas der eigenen Lebensgrundlage beraubt.
