Onze vzw streeft er op haar beurt naar effectieve en rechtvaardige klimaatactie te bevorderen door de herinnering levend te houden aan de slachtoffers van de overstromingen in Europa in de zomer van 2021 en klimaatrampen elders in de wereld. 3/5

Dit indrukwekkende museum is gevestigd in de enorme caissons die werden gebruikt om het laatste dijkgat te sluiten na de watersnoodramp van 1953. Het bewaart de herinnering aan deze ramp, eert de slachtoffers en zet zich in voor waterveiligheid en bewustwording rond klimaatverandering. 2/5

It’s hard not to think of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower as I watch the news of LA burning. Written in the early 1990s, the novel, which conjures a dystopian vision of environmental and societal collapse, imagines deadly fires sweeping through LA in 2025. 1/3
