Theme
Air, water and soil pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change are all made by humans. In 2016, 1.7 billion people—23% of the world's population— lived in a city with at least 1 million inhabitants. The health and wellbeing of each of us is impacted.
We have the power to make a change, to build cities and communities to have a positive impact on people and the planet. In a perfect future, what do our cities and communities look like? How we can we get there faster? What actions can we make today to accelerate our transition to a sustainable future?
Speakers and Panel
Exciting! What a great cast. We will have 8-minute inspirational words and discussions from the following.
Carl Pratt, Founder FuturePlanet, hosting the evening and sharing updates from the FuturePlanet community.
