Join us for a panel discussion "From Despair to Action: Building Progressive Futures" hosted by the University of Sussex School of progressive futures.

Where are the grounds for hope when there are plenty of reasons to despair about the state of the world? War, deepening inequalities, racial and gender discrimination, and a climate and biodiversity crisis mean our future is uncertain, especially for younger people. But where are the grounds for hope? Not naive optimism, but action, struggle, experience and experimentation that show the world doesn’t have to be like this, and that people are building new ways of living well in sustainable and flourishing communities and economies.

Participants:

Chair: Peter Newell, Theme Lead in Environmental Sustainability at the Sussex School for Progressive Futures

Panellists:
Caroline Lucas, Professor of Practice in Environmental Sustainability at the Sussex School for Progressive Futures, and former MP for Brighton Pavilion.
Andrew Simms, New Weather Institute and Rapid Transition Alliance
Jean McLean, Green Economy Coalition
