The anthology In Deep Concern – What Must Be Done Now to Save the World brings together individuals who have devoted their lives to climate protection in a wide variety of ways – though, unfortunately, with too little success so far. Among the contributors are scientists such as Prof. Franz Josef Radermacher, as well as activists, representatives of environmental organizations, entrepreneurs, and politicians. Together, they seek answers to the pressing questions of the climate crisis and issue a global call to action.

In his contribution, Prof. Radermacher once again underscores the importance of a socio-ecological market economy. He also expresses his frustration that quick national measures are often favored over thoughtful global strategies – a tendency that ultimately hinders real progress. Along with the other authors, his message is unmistakable: Decisive action is needed – and it’s needed now!
