Why Democratic Society?

The climate crisis poses a major challenge for traditional representative democracies. To mitigate climate change, we need to take bold decisions. Decisions that often involve political risk and trade-offs. I work for Democratic Society, because we are experimenting and learning every day about how to deepen democracy and create the conditions so that these decisions can be taken together.

Where I'm based:

Vienna, Austria.

Languages I speak:

German, English and Portuguese.
