Voting is one of the most effective (climate) actions for people in democracies and it's super simple too. Climate-focused parties will try to renew the economy into a low-carbon, sustainable and just world for everyone! Sometimes it can feel that these parties want to "take something away" from people. The truth is, they follow the scientific consensus and try to find ways to avoid the worst effects of climate change (which will derail the global economy and life as we know it if we don't act). When you look closely, many of the sustainable alternatives needed for a sustainable and just world like electric cars, great public transport everywhere, long-distance high-speed trains, heat pumps or even bike friendly cities will improve the life for everyone. Just and fair also means that these changes are made step by step and with low income households and rural areas in mind. They will most likely get more support. Please use your political voice to bring about a sustainable and just world.

About How we survive
How do you live in a place that wasn’t meant for development? And should we even try? The climate crisis is here, and we’re looking for solutions. Miami is one of the most vulnerable coastal cities in the world. Because of rising seas and stronger hurricanes, whole neighborhoods could be submerged by 2100. Or sooner. Billions of dollars are pouring into the region to help it adapt to hotter temperatures, fierce storms and rising waters. But will it be enough? Join host Amy Scott on this season of “How We Survive” as she digs into how South Florida can adapt to remain as livable as possible. The podcast explores how the insurance industry determines where people live, and the concept of “managed retreat,” which relocates entire communities from unlivable places.

Steps this helps you take.
Money is one of the biggest and most effective levers individuals have. Unfortunately money especially from insurances and banks is still used to fund harmful industries like deforestation (big meat) and the fossil fuel industry. The good news is, there are sustainable providers and once you did the switch you don't have to think about it anymore.
