Global Futures
Global Futures events enable new thinking around big global challenges. We bring together people from different disciplines of science, politics, psychology, sociology, business, leadership and art, in an informal way for short presentations and talks, followed by audience discussions and then chats over a drink.
Normally held at our home in Lancaster University, we hold a few events a year.
How can we effectively address the polycrisis?
Mike Berners-Lee was joined by Rupert Read, co-Director of the Climate Majority Project, to look at the interconnected challenges we face, and the fundamental things we need to change to help us address them. Rupert outlined his concept of working together on adaptation measures, to get to neither a dystopian or utopian future, but a throughtopia.
​
Listen to Rupert Read and Mike Berners-Lee discuss their ideas on addressing the polycrisis and the future of humanity over the next few decades. Recorded live on 24 October 2024.
