The Transformations to Sustainability (T2S) community will be well-represented at the forthcoming online conference – Transformations 2021: Enabling positive tipping points in an uncertain world – which takes place on 17 and 18 June 2021.
In 2020 a tipping point may have been crossed on how societies worldwide deal with multiple overlapping crises. On an unprecedented scale we see groups and communities mobilizing to re-imagine and transform the pre-pandemic systems which led to current vulnerabilities, risks, and unsustainable practices. This challenging but also fertile moment calls for urgent knowledge synthesis able to enact positive tipping points and tipping interventions towards new regenerative development trajectories.
On Thursday 17 June, between 14:00 – 16:00 CEST, Emily Boyd will moderate the opening keynote session with Kate Raworth, Aílton Krenak, Jessica Clark and Heila Lotz-Sisitka (T2S project ‘T-Learning‘).
Connect with the T2S community at the following sessions:
Please note that the 60-minute sessions are Q&A sessions with the authors of pre-recorded presentations, which you can start viewing from Monday 7 June. 90-minute sessions are live practice sessions.
