Jill Peeters says the following about this: “I constantly wonder why we know what is coming our way, that we even know the solutions, and that ‘nothing’ happens anyway. That is exactly why I want to make this program so much with Canvas. “
Peeters is looking forward to telling the broader story: “If you are busy predicting the weather every day, you do not give yourself the time and space for the things that really matter. disruption of the climate and the loss of our biodiversity are without a doubt the biggest challenges that we, as humans, are already looking straight in the eye. “
Moreover, it is the poorer countries that are hit first and the hardest: “Especially the injustice that goes with this touches me. When I quit as a weather forecaster, I heard that many people were going to miss me for my sunny weather reports, but maybe even more for my climate work. I also see this in the people who continue to contact me: policymakers, entrepreneurs, young people… they need a confidential adviser who can give them a clear explanation about the uncertainties they are struggling with and the opportunities they see. This program fits perfectly with the story I want to tell. ”
