Defining the Challenge

MANIFESTO

Climate Change is not a new topic. We have known about this issue for decades, yet no significant progress has been made to combat this problem. Why is that so? The problem lies within us. Our behavioural patterns have proven to push the issue aside. The changes in climate occur slowly, enough for us to ignore the issue. We do not see the effects each individual action has on the environment due to our pluralistic ignorance. Nevertheless, all of us will be affected by climate change, however, some of us will be affected more than others in a different location.

We need to understand how to better educate ourselves and future generations. We need to better understand our behaviour and what influences our daily choices that impact the environment. We need to understand that climate change is important even if it does not affect us as much at home. Lastly, we need to understand how to do all this without inducing eco-anxiety.
