Description: Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees: ecosia.co/info Welcome to Climate Brief, an Ecosia series on how to navigate the era of climate change. There are many aspects of the climate crisis that deserve attention. But we believe that updating our democracies is the stepping stone to restoring climate justice for the many, not just the few. Whether or not you are familiar with how political systems work, watch this video to understand the basics. None of us can do it all, but all of us can dive into one topic, one area, and then do what we’re best at in the name of protecting and strengthening our democracies. The ideas in this video are heavily based on a book by Wolfgang Oels. He is the COO at Ecosia.
