How do we create the future when the world is upside down?
Welcome to some of the most essential conversations built for Generation Now.
- How can a holistic mindset improve the quality of life for all without harming our big,, beautiful planet that sustains all life?
- How can open collaboration and cooperation help us to protect biodiversity? How do we establish smarter cities and communities that coexist with the natural world?
- It’s not all doom and gloom: How can AI help us prevent crises? Imagine a communications system, built from the ground up, helping communities…. do this and that? How can the slow fashion movement reduce extractive practices which destroy biodiversity? Building to last: How do we transform our products from “Built-in-obsolescence” to built to last?

- Prevention is the best medicine: How can we transform our health systems from “Death Economies” into “Health and Well-being?
- Good needs better distribution: How can improvements in our food and energy systems enable a healthier coexistence?
- Wars no more: How can going from transnationally controlled corporations to localized, community owned, produced and distributed services and systems dismantle the war economies and eliminate the struggle for natural resources?
