WHAT IF ... CLIMATE NEUTRALITY IS NOT ENOUGH?

What if our assumptions for the future turn out to be wrong? Read this controversial and thought-provoking leap into a future where the EU is firmly on the road to carbon-neutrality, yet the ecosystem devastation surrounding it exposes the deficiency of the febrile obsession with decarbonisation and emissions reduction. Shuddering but also policy-informative scenario that aims to shape processes today to avoid a bleak awakening tomorrow. Be ready to get catapulted with a shock into action, and read a policy essay on climate like never before.
