JuniorUni Lecture by Dr. Ana Laura Edelhoff (Universität Konstanz)
Many scientists warn us that if we continue to live the way we currently do, climate change will radically change our world and drastically lower the quality of life in the not so distant future. What can you do about this? It might seem that the answer is: very little, since nothing that you do really makes a difference. Or is this mistaken? Does every single action to stop climate change count?
