Welcome to an inspiring digital lecture about the challenges of the future with Isabelle McAllister - transition activist, author, and expert on reuse!
How can we contribute to a sustainable society? Join the lecture where Isabelle McAllister shares her extensive knowledge about the necessary changes we face, both at the societal level and on a more individual level. The transition is not just about changing large systems and laws - we must also make an inner transition. Everyone, whether they are entrepreneurs, municipal employees, or local politicians, lives in a world that is no longer sustainable. The transition we face involves managing both feelings of resistance and a reevaluation of our ways of working.
Isabelle gives us an overview of the climate situation and explains how we can navigate the transition by combining research in climate, psychology, and behavioral science. With the help of concrete examples from global initiatives, companies, and at the local level, Isabelle shows us that it is possible to make a difference and rethink.
Before the lecture, we will talk about Kustlandet's new micro-support where we would like to see efforts for the environment and sustainability.
Monday, February 24, at 18:00-19:30 via Zoom (the lecture starts around 18:30)
