So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom's long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? On Freedom examines such questions by tracing the concept's complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.

Wie eine Mutter und ihre Tochter von Pellworm die Politik bezwungen haben. Die Nordseeinseln Pellworm ist die Heimat von Sophie und Silke Backsen. Hier werden die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels besonders spürbar: Die Insel liegt heute bereits einen Meter unter dem Meeresspiegel, jede weitere Erhöhung desselben wäre katastrophal.

Wir leben gesünder und länger als jede Generation vor uns. Und doch sind wir verletzlicher als gedacht: Ein Virus hält uns in Atem und ungebremst schlittern wir in die Klimakrise. Langsam dämmert uns: Gesundheit ist mehr als Pillen und Apparate. Wir Menschen brauchen, um gesund zu sein, als Allererstes etwas zu essen, zu trinken, zu atmen. Und erträgliche Außentemperaturen. Gesunde Menschen gibt es nur auf einer gesunden Erde. Eckart von Hirschhausen zeigt, was die globalen Krisen unserer Zeit für die Gesundheit von jedem Einzelnen bedeuten.

In August 2018 a 15-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day. Her actions ended up sparking a global movement for action against the climate crisis, inspiring millions of pupils to go on strike for our planet, forcing governments to listen, and earning her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

Ocean acidification is the equally evil twin of climate change and it happens alongside of the global warming. Ocean acidification has lowered the pH of the ocean waters by about 0.11 units (SCOR 2009 as cited in ‘Tech Ocean Science’, n.d.). This is mainly due to anthropogenic CO2 emission, amount of CO2 on upper layer of the ocean has been increasing by 2 billion tons per year. Oceans have absorbed 1/3 of the CO2 produced by human activities since 1800 and fossil fuel burning alone account for half of the CO2 in the atmosphere (Sabine et al., 2004 as cited in ‘Tech Ocean Science’, ...

Climate change is the world’s biggest problem. It affects every human being on Earth, and it’s going to fundamentally alter every human institution and way of life, from business and economics to politics to spirituality, religion, culture, and identity. But, as big as it is, climate change is not “the end of history.” In fact, it’s just the beginning of a new phase of the history of humanity, one that presents opportunities as well as challenges. Being ready to ride this wave of change is the true calling of our times.

In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australia’s environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilizing the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs.

Saving the world won't happen on the silver screen. In our fragile ecosystem, climate change is swiftly becoming the defining issue of how to prepare - and protect - the earth for the future. The climate change debate raged on in America in 2015, but the facts and the science now show irrefutably that our world is rapidly changing, and that irreparable damage has already begun.

Pakistan is living proof that building up your economy and protecting your environment don’t have to be diametrically opposed. The fact that Pakistan is taking responsibility in tackling carbon emissions, even though it’s not responsible for most of the problem, shows that they’re not willing to wait around for someone else to solve things. Other nations have much to learn from Pakistan’s initiatives – and from the perseverance of its people. Discover one country’s resilience and determination against the most difficult odds.

Carola Rackete traf die mutige Entscheidung, sich über das Verbot des italienischen Innenministeriums hinwegzusetzen und mit der "Sea Watch 3" den Hafen von Lampedusa anzusteuern. An Bord: 53 aus dem Mittelmeer gerettete Geflüchtete. Hier erzählt sie, warum sie sich so bedingungslos für Menschlichkeit, globale Gerechtigkeit und Naturschutz einsetzt. Denn dass Menschen aus ihrer Heimat fliehen, hängt unmittelbar mit der Klimakrise und der zunehmenden globalen Ungerechtigkeit zusammen.

Tutti noi abbiamo un'idea sbagliata dei rifiuti in Italia. Se pensiamo ai cassonetti incendiati, alle strade sommerse di sacchi, se pensiamo alla tragedia della Terra dei fuochi e delle discariche fuori legge sparse in tutto il Paese dovremmo disperarci. Ma in realtà noi italiani siamo migliori di quello che ci raccontiamo. Lo dimostra il movimento Rifiuti Zero, di cui Rossano Ercolini è il principale artefice in Italia.
