The team behind Schools For Future
We are running this site voluntarily because the crimate crisis is the most important issue to care about in our lifetime - and yet most people are unware of its urgency. To solve this crisis, the society must be urgently enlightened at scale. Schools are distributed most widely accross society and we are commited to facilitate that students, teachers and parents alike explain to others in their schools the societal and political changes that are necessary now. All of this needs to be based on the most current scientific knowledge.
In spring 2019, I cheered for our growing youth climate movement. Soon after that, I
cheered for the united science backing them. In summer 2019, my passive cheering turned
into action. Still today, I am in panic about my own children not being able to either
enjoy or even reach adulthood. I want to help reach hearts and brains to unleash the
changes necessary to avoid the looming climate catastrophe.

After informing myself about the climate change in 2019 thanks to Greta Thunberg and many
others, I couldn't continue my life as it was looking at my children and imaging what they
would ask me in the future, like "knowing about the consequences, you didn't try to stop
it?!"

SMEs for many years.
Knowing about the climate emergency and the danger it brings to human life and health I
could not start working as a medical intern after finishing my studies last summer. I´m
convinced that education about the climate catastrophe is a key factor towards the
wellbeing of human existance. I love to participate in raising the awareness of our need
to act now on a political and personal level.
