Recht auf gerecht! #3 Warum stößt Klimaprotest so oft auf Ablehnung?

In the organizer's words:

Climate protest triggers strong reactions: Many young people are drawing attention to the fact that the future is changing massively right now - and yet their actions are often met with rejection and skepticism. Why is that? Why is the commitment to a future worth living so often seen as disruptive, excessive or inappropriate?

We talk about why climate protest is so controversial in society, while other protests meet with broad understanding. We also discuss intergenerational conflicts and the question of who has the right to speak out at all. Can we talk about climate protest without also talking about social recognition?

How fair is our society - and how much is the climate crisis exacerbating existing inequalities? What opportunities do different generations have and who bears the greatest burden of change?
