It is widely believed that the temperature limit agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement can only be achieved with technologies that will hopefully be available in the future. The brochure uses practical examples to show how we can already realise a world worth living in for everyone and not have to postpone the solution to the climate crisis until the future. Is it utopian to insist on a good life for all in the face of the climate crisis? Perhaps. But it is no less realistic than the utopia of endless growth on a finite planet. Numerous practical examples show how we can realise a sustainable world worth living in for everyone - from decentralised renewable energy generation and proven concepts for the sustainable use of forests to ideas for modern mobility and the ecological cultivation of our food. What they all have in common is that they show how we can live, work and do business well. Within the planetary boundaries. And in such a way that human rights and democracy no longer come under the wheels and millions of people live marginalised and in poverty.

No access! Why our global food system penalises people living in poverty. And how we can create good markets for good nutrition.

Food poverty is dramatically high despite a growing global economy. 2 out of 5 people cannot afford a healthy diet.

Hunger and malnutrition are primarily the result of poverty and inequality. The "Global Food Poverty Gap" shows how much money people around the world lack to afford the minimum level of a balanced diet and how great the injustice is. After all, healthy nutrition is not a luxury, but a human right. Together with its partner organisations, Misereor is committed to fighting hunger in the long term. This booklet presents examples of projects from Brazil, India and Uganda that strengthen smallholder families and improve access to food markets - for both producers and consumers.
