Sie sind jung und brauchen die Welt! Lasst sie uns gemeinsam schützen. 60 junge Leute auf der ganzen Welt zeigen uns wie. Im Kampf um unseren Planeten gibt es nicht nur Sündenböcke, sondern auch Vorbilder – die jungen Klima-Aktivisten. Egal, ob wir Erwachsene uns ihrer Sache verschrieben haben oder nicht: Von Asien bis Afrika, von Ozeanien bis Europa, von Amerika bis zur Antarktis finden junge Menschen unglaubliche Wege, um gegen die Klimakatastrophe zu kämpfen. Wie würden Sie verhindern, dass Millionen Strohhalme im Meer entsorgt werden? Wäre es nicht wunderbar, wenn eine Fußball-Mannschaft nach dem Spiel einen Baum für jedes gefallene Tor pflanzt? Halten Sie es für schier unmöglich, dass ein einzelner Mensch eine Regierung zum Handeln in Sachen Klima bewegt? Lassen Sie sich von den verblüffenden Ideen junger Menschen auf der ganzen Welt dazu inspirieren, Ihren Teil zur Rettung unseres Planeten beizutragen. Mit einem exklusiven Vorwort der deutschen Klima-Aktivistin Raina Ivanova.
