Das wird immer wieder weltweit bestätigt, hier aktuell bei uns in 🇩🇪: die Mehrheit der Menschen wünscht sich mehr Klimaschutz! Denn wir haben die Lösungen, aber wir verlieren gerade den Wettlauf gegen die Zeit für eine lebenswerte Zukunft. table.media/berlin/news/...

Mehrheit der Deutschen: Bund unternimmt bei Klimapolitik zu wenig
Sie können besser entscheiden, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings. Mit dem Informationsvorsprung zum Wettbewerbsvorteil.

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐ We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts). 🧵(1/4)

We always get asked, "What can I *personally* do to help address climate change?" Sadly, there hasn't been a very good answer to this question. Previous guides often treated people as monoliths, giving them a one-size-fits-all answer. But that's changed now. Enter SHIFT. jointheshift.earth
