Thinking from the end really provides a new perspective
Climate change and how to tackle it is one of the key challenges for this century. Therefore, it is a very helpful to switch perspective and to start thinking how we are living with the crisis in 27 years time. Really liked the approach and got me thinking. Looking forward to the next episode.
