Climate Crisis

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Many have identified the consequences of global warming as the gravest threat that countries, the international community and planet Earth face over the course of this century. Global warming, i.e. the rise in global average temperatures, is caused by greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere – such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) – produced by a number of human activities: deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal, and intensive farming. The consequences of this process are known as climate change. Due to the ongoing climate crisis we’re witnessing the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, sea levels rising, desertification and biodiversity loss. In order to face all these challenges, over 170 countries adopted the Paris Agreement at the COP21 climate change conference held in the French capital in 2015. Follow the latest updates, information and news about international efforts to slow down global warming and its devastating effects.

Many believe sustainability is becoming an urgent need, whilst others see it first and foremost as a duty. Often it is brandished as an accessory, sometimes it is used as a gateway, others still it is considered merely a credential. To us, environmental and human sustainability represent an authentic lifestyle that defines our way of being in the world; an attitude centred around conscientiousness and concrete actions. For 20 years we have operated to catalyse social change, to awaken and feed a new state of ecological awareness, to inspire and promote new business and consumption models for people as well as companies. We are the space in which education becomes determination, feeling becomes action, the goal becomes solution and result. We favour those who choose to be guided by ethical values, who respect ecosystems and all their life forms. We are on the side of those who decide to live with passion and purpose, acting to make the world a better place.
