The politics of climate change – Reason for hope?

Lecturer : Dan Jørgensen, vice chairman of the Committee for the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety in the European-Parliament.

Climate change presents a grave danger to the environment and to our civilization. Although the future prospects are scary, Dan Jørgensen has a positive vision of why there is a reason to hope for a sustainable future. For this vision to become reality a green revolution is needed. If we act now we can create a new green growth economy and save the climate at the same time.
