Climate Crisis: Hope as a Strategy

The climate crisis is already here. In the face of it, neither naive optimism nor pessimism will help. We need active hope: the understanding that the future depends on what we do today. Every action counts. Tomorrow cannot be predicted; it is built through organization, collective action, and pressure on those in power. Let’s not wait for a better future—let’s make it livable starting now. 📸: Susan Wilkinson, Oliver Kwembe, Leonardo Basso, Francesco Ungaro.

The Myth of Growth

In terms of GDP, a country is doing well when it produces and consumes more. It doesn’t matter whether people are living better, whether the air becomes unbreathable, or whether rivers dry up.

From carbon-capturing architecture to urban planning that transforms cities into living ecosystems, the key lies in revaluing ancestral knowledge and fostering a regenerative mindset. 📸 Ricardo Gómez Ángel, Pim de Boer.
