June 2023 Special Anniversary Event
Those of us who care about the fate of younger generations and the more-than-human world know that the warnings of the last few decades have largely fallen on deaf ears. Post Carbon Institute turns 20 this year, a milestone that has prompted us to reflect on what’s transpired since our founding in 2003. Some events surprised us (the way cheap credit and fracking postponed Peak Oil). Some rattled us (the pandemic). And some were sadly predictable (the inability of our institutions to transition away from fossil fueled-growth). While the world has experienced tremendous change and destabilization in the last two decades, it looks certain that the next 20 years will be marked by even greater environmental and societal (poly)crisis – what the great environmental philosopher Joanna Macy calls the “Great Unraveling.”
Rachel Donald, journalist, educator, and the host of the Planet: Critical podcast, joined Richard Heinberg, Post Carbon Institute Senior Fellow and author of Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival, in conversation to reflect on all that's happened since PCI's founding in 2003 and to share expertise into what the next two decades will hold.
