"The problem is that we are all contributors to climate change. After all, it is human-induced climate change, but at the same time, we are all affected by it."

See what Jakob thinks about the Future of Climate.
"When I look at how drastic the situation is, how drastic the change we need is, and how even the simplest steps are not being taken, I feel pretty desperate. But I always try to listen to the science, which tells us that yes, it's super tight, but we still have this small window of time."
Jakob Beyer is a 29-year-old activist of the climate group "Last Generation" and was taken into custody due to his commitment to the climate movement. He has chosen a path that poses a risk not only to himself but also to the movement he supports. Beyer's actions included food donations and participating in demonstrations, but after the climate protection law was overturned by the Constitutional Court, the movement sought new forms of protest. Beyer believes that technological progress alone is not enough to stop climate change. He is determined to speak out and actively fight to secure a better future for the next generation.
The future of the climate could take various forms. With the climate lens of the Berlin 2033 project, you can immerse yourself in the future of the German capital. And what better place than the Brandenburg Gate? The Tech and Journalism Team 33 of the FreeTech Academy created a lens that provides information about the climate crisis exclusively on Snapchat. Using a fictional projection directly on the German landmark, you will experience the impact of climate change firsthand in ten years.
