The world population is growing rapidly. Almost one third of all people are adolescents. We live in a world of teenagers. Young people are the future, and they will have to cope with the issues we do not face.

We use the resources of our planet in a wasteful manner. Following generations will not have access to these resources. We are causing irreversible damage to our climate, environment, and cultures.

It is possible and absolutely necessary to take initiative.
We need to change education, science and research, the economy, and our lifestyles – and we need to change soon.

We need sustainable industrial production, renewable energy, and environmentally conscious consumer habits. Moreover, we need to strenghten public involvement in the democratic process.
