Darkness as core quality of our environment and driver for sustainable development

Description

In Europe, 60% of people cannot look up and see the milky way due to heavy light pollution, and as many as 85% of the Netherlands is constantly lighter at night than at a natural full moon. Light pollution is a prominent yet underlit issue, and steadily increasing. During this presentation, we will explore the importance of dark nights, and the implications of light pollution for our own wellbeing, cultural history, and our natural environment. We will touch on solutions, and discuss how initiatives like the Darkness of the Wadden project can combine fighting light pollution with sustainable development.
