A sustainable, climate-neutral world can only be achieved with more social justice and the participation of those who are currently disadvantaged, she says. Why else should the change to a sustainable world be worthwhile if not democratically and for everyone? She is a passionate advocate of climate communication that is people-centred instead of being primarily technology-obsessed. The climate crisis is not only a global challenge, but also the chance for a new social contract and an invitation to improve lives and build a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Eva-Maria McCormack gives key notes, talks and lectures.
