Creatively United for the Planet | The Transformative Moment: Global Reset & The Future of Hope @creativelyunited | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 minutes ago.
The risk at the moment is that our society will lapse into some different, but still a functionally unaltered version of what we had before the pandemic, which would be a disaster leading only to the next disasters. The world won’t be and shouldn’t be the same again. Our interests should reside in not re-creating the world we had, but the world we want. This is an invitation to imagine that world for yourself.
This presentation will explore the resets that we need to accelerate ecological rehabilitation through the remaking of the economic, political and social fabric of our society with a special focus on the restoration of biodiversity-based Earth system function and the attendant need for reconciliation first among ourselves, and then with the planet.
