On January 20, the new book by Professor of Modern Dutch Literature Geert Buelens is published: Wat we toen al wisten: De vergeten groene geschiedenis van 1972 (What we knew back then. The Forgotten Green History of 1972).
Demonstrations against the use of plastic. Panic about declining biodiversity. Concerns about the quality of life in the oceans and the climate. Today? No, in 1972. The environmental crisis is older than many people think, and so is the scientific and political struggle over it. Read more in Dutch.
