Vortrag
Climate change is one of the biggest threats modern generations have to face. To ensure a liveable future, urgent measures should be taken. One of the best ways to obtain such quick change in our society is by informing citizens, to engage them, and try to reach the social tipping point as fast as possible. We constructed the PLEES index. This index is based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs and is projected under different climate change scenarios, to quantify the psychological, social, and economical impact of climate change in the world. This index is a visual tool, easily distributable in social medias, aiming to inform people about climate change, targeting wealthier European countries, with financial and political means to generate a positive change, showing that their life comfort is at risk. We believe that popularising the idea of social tipping point is a good way to show that big changes can happen very fast if citizens act together. During this event, we will introduce the PLEES index. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on how to effectively communicate on climate change.
