Empowering for the climate – why and how
Description
In the first episode of #emPower4Climate, Janine and Stefan discuss why there is still not much progress on mitigating the disastrous climate breakdown although all needed solutions are available.
Janine presents her experience with the founding of the Fridays for Future movement. She was one of the first who talked with Greta Thunberg after Greta had started her school strike, and together they developed the concept for what became one of the biggest social movements ever.
Stefan explains his views on how a climate friendly energy supply would be possible, why it is not yet a reality and why local approaches such as community power are so important. With more than 20 years of experience in international energy politics, he has seen great success stories but also terrifying failures.
