Unlocking a Better World

Of course we can imagine a better future for humanity. A future where all the UN Sustainable Development Goals are being met, where social justice and peaceful co-existence is the norm and where environmental concerns are being addressed.

But our seemingly innate appetite for over-consumption, our intolerance of cultural and religious differences, all pandered by inept political leadership – itself fuelled by monied elitism and varying levels of blatant corruption – seriously question such blue-sky scenarios.

Come along and partake in a stimulating discussion as environmentalist and global thinker Richard Priestley shares his insights into the key areas that need to be addressed to enable human beings to harmoniously co-habit our planet as we progress towards the 22^nd century.
