If you spent your time off in Europe this summer, you might have experienced that issues around climate change are no longer an exception. Mother Nature can be both generous and unforgiving. Were you and your fellow vacationers able to receive online updates on the latest developments? Did you have access to the right resources to stay safe and healthy, and travel back home together?
Luckily, most of us has had a great vacation and made new memories. You and future generations deserve this in the future as well, so let’s collaborate! Let's continue to work on challenges around climate, digitalisation and health and be aware of the opportunities they offer. To succeed, we keep our eyes and ears open to learn from each other’s perspectives, and be open minded to participate in what we call ‘transdisciplinary co-speculation’.
