Talk Synopsis
Future Positive Design
As we enter into even more interconnected and complex times, how do we leverage our influence to be a part of transformative systems change? We have already entered into the Anthropocene, an era marked by the impacts of human activity on every aspect of the planet. The world demands that we solve the climate and waste crises by creating a circular and regenerative economy. But what does that mean, and how do we get there? The future requires us to change the way we currently do everything — how we live and work, design and build, consume and move. It’s a creative and positively disruptive time, preparing a cultural shift towards a future that creates positive social and environmental impact, as opposed to destruction and inequity. How can we leave the status quo behind and move towards a circular reality, where the finiteness of our planet is respected and all resources are handled as valuables instead of disposables? This is the greatest challenge of our time and this inspirational and motivational talk invites the audience to dream up a future world of circularity with insights and inspirational strategies for a rapid transformation to a circular and sustainable future by design. Because, let’s face it, there is no planet B and we are all citizen designers of a better future, if we choose to be.
