Wir werden uns u.a. durch #KritisDachG und #SendaiFramework auf Naturereignisse vorbereiten müssen!

Erneut Wintersturm an der Ostküste der USA

"Schnee und Kälte haben Teile der USA weiter fest im Griff. Wieder bereiten sich mehrere Bundesstaaten auf einen schweren Wintersturm vor: Flüge sind gestrichen, Schulen bleiben geschlossen, in New York sind die Straßen für den Autoverkehr gesperrt.

Sieben Bundesstaaten haben den Ausnahmezustand verhängt."

"Is nature angry with us?"

To avoid disasters, our actions ought to be about cooperating and living with nature – and with each other – without harm, including without harming ourselves. We should recognise and implement the worldviews that humanity and nature are intertwined.
