New Rethink Talks episode - Imagining a safe and just future for all

2020-11-12 11:09

Is a safe and just future for all still possible and, what will it take to imagine and enact on those kinds of futures?

Right now, the very idea of imagining the future might feel strange when the world is changing in ways we barely even understand. In this episode of Rethink Talks, we ask: is a safe and just future for all still possible and, what will it take to imagine and enact on those kinds of futures? Andrew Merrie, a research liasion officer at the Stockholm Resilience Centre is joined by two people who spend much of their time thinking about this: Garry Peterson from the Stockholm Resilience Centre and Laura Pereira from the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University (and SRC!). Both have pushed hard for global environmental governance structures such as the UN to use scenarios more as part of their policy development. Such scenarios could help us design ideas for a credible and positive future.
