Remake the Future

Open invitation to families and friends

'To prevent human civilisation from more environmental damage than it might be able to endure, the authors call on world leaders to consider policies that they deem unconventional. Only more extreme economic and behavioural changes will allow the world to achieve all 17 Sustainable Development Goals together.'

~Club of Rome 2018

Remake the Future is an afternoon where we learn to better understand the issues at stake over the next 12 years, as per the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2018 report, and what alternatives are ready for changing the world. 

We are thrilled to have Dr Petra Tschakert, a coordinating lead author for the 2018 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report, together with a panel of prominent experts in connected fields. We are offering this event particularly for young adults who want to connect with positive action and engage with like-minded adults and other young people in the struggle to address this potentially catastrophic issue.

Kevin Borland Hall at Arlington offers limited space, so please secure your tickets on trybooking.  We know there is enormous interest in being a part of what I hope will be the inaugural occasion for an annual event, where our students can track the action and the changes over the next 12 years and look back on this year as a turning point.
