The book helps to understand climate change and to grasp ecological interrelationships. The focus is always on the concrete. That's why the book is aimed at a broad audience: teachers and students, volunteers and civil servants, politicians and voters, all of them are valuable multipliers who can then supplement what they have read and learned in their own way, interpret it and carry it forward into their fields of action. This constructive practical handbook helps:- to acquire knowledge,- to supplement knowledge,- to question knowledge,- to place knowledge in the right contexts,- to present approaches to action, and - to stimulate one's own action.Because the basis for sustainable development is ultimately networked thinking and action!
