No time for pessimism

The fight against climate change is being waged next door. Inventors and thinkers, scientists and engineers are inspiring us with their ideas and projects. Dirk Rossmann and Josef Settele visited them for this book, spoke with them, and recorded their stories. The result is an impressive narrative about tangible heroes. A story about their innovations, their resilience, their clever ideas, but also about their everyday lives, their normality. The authors instill hope. And this hope, alongside all the action and ideas, is of utmost importance. Only with it does our collective effort for our livelihoods stand a chance of success. "An insect researcher and an entrepreneur co-author a book. Fantastic. Page after page of creative solutions. Time to read, marvel, and take action." Eckart von Hirschhausen.
