📚 Heute erscheint „Die Klimamutation“ bei Campus. In Zeiten von Rechtsruck und Kriegen scheint Klima im Hintergrund. Andere Themen bestimmen Schlagzeilen und Umfragen. Aber die Klimafrage ist nicht verschwunden. Sie verändert die Bedingungen, unter denen wir leben, wirtschaften, Politik machen.

Com o mundo em contagem regressiva para a #COP30, a União Europeia ainda não apresentou sua nova Contribuição Nacionalmente Determinada (NDC) — o plano climático atualizado que deveria ter sido submetido até fevereiro. O atraso não é técnico: é político. E é também moralmente inaceitável. 🧵
