<< Objectives >>“Ecological destruction”, “climate catastrophe” are ubiquitous terms, “Fridays for Future”’s people demonstrate, often without substantiated facts or reliable information on changes and dangers concerning our environment. We aim at filling this void by collecting facts and documenting developments in our project which will offer knowledge on the interdependence of people and landscape, here in particular on the question what kind of risks and opportunities are connected with water bodies.<< Implementation >>Historical facts and current information will be collected in four different regions of Europe: Ireland (Atlantic coast, estuary), Belgium (inland river, waterway system with access to the open sea), Germany (shortest river in Germany, though of high importance), Latvia (coast on the Baltic Sea, estuary). Thus, we will furnish evidence on real dangers, on likely interventions, and on the issue of individual responsibility. Local excursions and walks will offer and illustrate regional information<< Results >>Reviewing and documenting the development of the interdependence of people and landscape, in the respective regions with reference to their water bodies, explaining the importance of water for production and trade and for a healthy living environment. Explaining real changes, but also identifying fearmongering. Advancing the idea of people’s individual responsibilities and furthering the awareness of the impact their individual decisions have on consumption and resources.In short: a wake-up call
