As climate breakdown, inequality, and social fragmentation accelerate, what would it take to create a civilisation that truly works for people and planet?
Join acclaimed author and thinker Jeremy Lent for an exploration of his new book, Ecocivilization: Making a World that Works for All. Exploring a practical vision of a future rooted in ecological principles, democratic participation, human wellbeing, and our deep interconnectedness with the living world.
This event builds on the ideas developed in Lent's award-winning earlier books. In The Patterning Instinct, he traced how different cultures throughout history have created meaning and how those underlying worldviews continue to shape our societies today. He argues that today's ecological and social crises are not inevitable, but arise from cultural patterns that can be transformed.
His later book, The Web of Meaning, explored how insights from science and traditional wisdom can help us cultivate a worldview of interconnectedness and flourishing.
Now, in Ecocivilization, Lent takes the next step: translating those ideas into a practical roadmap for a regenerative future, where technology serves communities, democracy empowers citizens, businesses support life, and nature's rights are protected.
An important evening for anyone interested in sustainability, systems change, economics, ecology, politics, or the future of humanity.
