ABSTRACT

The Transformation we are engaged in is transforming the world we now live in towards one that continues the gift of life to our future generations and all other forms of life with which we share this planet. For the first time in human history, what was always assumed as a certainty is no longer certain. The question is not saving the planet. The question is can we redesign human life to restore the planet's ability to support and sustain us? We all hear the continuous drum roll of depressing planetary news. Tonight I want to take you on a ramble through the landscape of our human story, some things I’ve learned, where we are now, what we can do, and what we can learn.
