Luisa Neubauer on Dreaming as a Tool for Change

55 Voices for Democracy – The Podcast

The societal state as a crisis of imagination? German climate activist Luisa Neubauer is one of the main organizers of Fridays for Future in Germany, an international student movement demanding political action against climate change. In this episode, Neubauer talks about her activism and the momentum of the movement, climate awareness in the U.S. and Germany, and dreaming as a tool for change.

"On the one side, we have to accept the catastrophes that are going to unravel. But on the other, we need to allow ourselves to dream big."

Neubauer is the co-author of the book Vom Ende der Klimakrise – Eine Geschichte unserer Zukunft (On the End of the Climate Crisis - A History of Our Future).
