The price of inaction
I’m doing a serialised comic about how I’m finding my voice as a climate activist. It’s best to read these first:
As long as your climate anxiety still fits in your pocket, it’s easy to tuck it away. But that was not the case for me anymore after something that happened in 2020. I was asked by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre to make cartoons during a meeting about climate change and humanitarian work, organised by the Swedish government.
If I thought I knew a thing or two about climate change, that bubble was abruptly burst. Here are some things I learned during this and following sessions for the Climate Centre.
Climate change is not in the future, it’s already happening.
The people who contributed the least to the problem, are the people who suffer the most.
Before too long, we will all be facing the dire consequences.
It finally dawned on me, that I could change my diet, my mode of transportation and what I wear, we might just not be OK. And…
It would be dumb not to act now, because the price of inaction is much higher than taking proper measures today.
All I could think about now, is we have to do something.

With love,
