News from the Planet
Dorothea Sick-Thies
Entrepreneur & founder of Protect the Planet
Dear readers,
Human-induced climate change is a scientifically established fact and there is an equally clear link to its devastating consequences. Unless humanity makes fundamental changes immediately and consistently, neither Germany nor the EU nor the international community will be able to achieve their own goals under the 2015 Paris Agreement—with devastating consequences.

WHO WE ARE
What do an entrepreneur, a filmmaker, and a lawyer have in common? A love for our planet and the fight to preserve our natural resources. With this premise in mind, Dorothea Sick-Thies, Carl-A. Fechner, and Markus Gohr founded Protect the Planet – Gesellschaft für ökologischen Aufbruch (Society for Ecological Change) in 2015. And since then, we have been working hard every day as a powerful environmental organization in the south of Munich.
