Activism

Speakers in Activism include:

Business

“Businesses need to understand that they are part of a larger system, and that it’s in the best interests of firms to see that the larger system prospers.” — Frank Dixon

Speakers in Business include:

Design

“We can eliminate the concept of waste. It’s not about reduction, avoidance or minimisation. It’s about abundance.” — Michael Braungart

Speakers in Design include:

Development

“We need think a little more holistically about issues like development, sustainability and democracy. They are the pillars upon which the house is built.” — Wangari Maathai

Speakers in Development include:

Economics

“The world has absolutely no idea how to tackle the climate change problem because it’s so closely linked to economic growth. We have a global economy that, unless it can grow, collapses.” — Richard Douthwaite

Speakers in Economics include:

Education

“Our educational culture suffers in many ways from nature deficit disorder – kids that have been removed from the natural world. I teach a generation of young people who often have minds shaped by television, shopping malls, freeways and suburban sprawl.” — David Orr

Speakers in Education include:

Energy

“From the beginning of the industrial revolution we’ve been substituting fossil energy for human, animal and solar power and have increased our productivity enormously as a result. But this process is about to come to a stop and virtually nobody is thinking about it.” — Richard Douthwaite

Speakers in Energy include:

Environment

“Climate change represents probably the greatest threat to the future of mankind that we have ever faced. It will overwhelm us in the end if we do not alter our behaviour now.” —

Speakers in Environment include:

Food

“You could go all over the world at the moment and find concern about the intensification of agriculture, the effect on food safety and food quality, the effect on biodiversity and on the environment. People want to do something about it. That is a very powerful force – one that could quite literally transform agriculture globally and take it in a better direction.” — Patrick Holden

Speakers in Food include:

Health

“The biggest influence on whether you get cancer or not is the world that you live in, and not the genes that you inherit from your parents.” — Dr Vyvyan Howard

Speakers in Health include:

Media

“Fewer people are owning and controlling the media. Even though we have many channels and voices, we have few real choices because there’s a uniformity of perspective.” — Danny Schechter

Speakers in Media include:

Politics

“One of the great challenges for humanity today is to create global institutions that have the legitimacy and the resources really to solve our global problems, problems which are beyond the reach of the nation states and which can’t be solved by any single country alone.” — Nicholas Dunlop

Speakers in Politics include:

Religion

“We tend to look at the world through our own lens, our own culture and personalized perspective. We need now to stand back from our particular world view and take a wider vista of many different alternative religious worlds and spiritual perspectives.” —

Speakers in Religion include:

Science and Technology

“There is an organic revolution happening that opposes the mechanistic science that treats organisms as though they are machines. Instead it acknowledges that everything is interconnected.” — Mae-Wan Ho

Speakers in Science and Technology include:

Security

“The end result of the psychological and economic pressures from corporate-driven globalization is that people everywhere are being made to feel insecure. Some are turning back in a fundamentalist way to their own traditions, leading to an angry rejection of the commercial system that is creating these pressures. It’s leading to anger, frustration and perhaps violence.” — Helena Norberg-Hodge

Speakers in Security include:

Society

“We cannot go on living our lives the same way we are today. The problem is not physical. It isn’t even environmental. The problem is in ourselves and in our way of addressing it intellectually. We must start to talk with one another in a new way.” — Karl-Henrik Robèrt
