Description
The actual climate crisis generated by the global warming requires a strong civic participation to find a sustainable
solution to overcome this critical time. The COP26, the UN climate conference, which took place last year in
Glasgow, has the highest participation rate in COP´s history despite the global pandemic. The world was expecting
more ambitious actions for a clean global energy transition to achieve the 1.5 degree-goal. It is now clear that this
ambitious goal cannot be achieved only by political decisions. A strong civic participation is required to make sure
that the global warming will not lead to an irreversible status of the climatic crisis characterized by climate events,
which will make the life of human beings not more sustainable on this planet. Social innovations are the key to
overcome this crisis and provide a sustainable solution to the mitigation of global warming towards the achievement
of 1.5 degree-goal.
