What happens when ordinary people become human rights defenders? In a village in Poland, volunteers shoulder the burden their state resists by helping those who cross the border from Belarus to seek asylum.
Thanks to the city’s efforts toward climate adaptation and decades-old engineering works, Rotterdam does not have to worry about climate change until the end of the century. Yet, as the city develops, any mistake in flood defence planning becomes more costly.
