The Time for Courage is Now! Two generations, two perspectives, one goal: Lea Bonasera and Bärbel Höhn on climate activism
Lea Bonasera (25), one of the founders of the activist group “Letzte Generation”, gets annoyed by disparaging descriptors like “climate-gluer” and “eco-terrorist” because she’s absolutely convinced that civil disobedience can be an antidote to powerlessness. In The Time for Courage Is Now!, she draws an impressive arc between theory and practice, writes about her experiences in previous protests and takes a scientific approach to the history and aims of civil disobedience. Bärbel Höhn (70) served as Environment Minister in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and has always fought for equality and environmental protection. In Lasst uns was bewegen! [“Let’s Make Something Happen!”], she describes how each of us can do something to protect the climate, and how we can unite across generations to fight for our future. The authors talk to Stephanie Rohde about what really needs to happen to avert the climate catastrophe.
