May 23, 2017

BERLIN – If there are any geologists in millions of years, they will easily be able to pinpoint the start of the so-called Anthropocene – the geological age during which humans became the dominant influence on our planet’s environment. Wherever they look, they will find clear evidence of its onset, in the form of plastic waste.

When women in the Middle East make the headlines, it is usually as victims. Disturbing stories of the so called 'Islamic State' (ISIS) kidnapping and raping tens of thousands of women are sadly often the ones which stick in the Western memory.

We decided to look to the future, present and past in this issue, in order to present an alternative narrative which challenges these representations of women.

DOSSIER: INSIDE THE GREEN ECONOMY

It fosters the hope that we can hang on to our current high standard of material prosperity.
