Changing Course: Reclaiming Our Future
During the past years, people around the world have woken up to the urgency of our global challenges. But despite many efforts, the basic global developments are still going in the wrong direction, be it in the field of food, natural resources, environmental degradation, social justice, human rights or climate change. Looking at the current trendlines, we see that the planet is rapidly approaching a number of irreversible tipping points.Tinkering with the status quo or embracing „false positives“ will only slow the devastation, not prevent it. We need a profound change of course, in our knowledge systems, our economies, our lifestyles. And we need it soon.
For 30 years, the Right Livelihood Award Laureates have shown that this change is possible. The solutions exist and they are proven to work. At their 30th Anniversary Gathering in Bonn, the Right Livelihood Award Laureates want to awake the world to the fact that now is our last chance to decide: Do we risk collapse through business as usual? Or do we have the wisdom and courage to radically shift our paradigms in favour of a secured common future.
Various Bonn Sustainability Portal partners contribute to this conference with events, lectures and workshops. Conference website
