How do we affect the climate? And how to ensure a sustainable development? The first part of this event (in Italian) features a game on the interaction between human activity and the carbon cycle. By becoming carbon atoms, participants will understand the mechanisms underlying climate change and what needs to be done to protect the planet. In the second part of the event (in English) experts on climate change will discuss the connection between human activity and our planet and the need for a sustainable balance between lower carbon emissions and growth, especially in the Global South.
