Why myclimate? “Climate change is a challenge which we can only handle if we can reach sustainable change within our thinking patterns and actions. In a society, which is increasingly affected by the extremely fast development in the information and communication technologies, you need to use these technologies and tools to create a change in people’s awareness and behaviour. To me, myclimate is a workshop where tools-of-change are already being created today."
