Summertime: Hope, Heat and Despair
Summary
We are now under a heat dome in Europe—does that go for the physical and political climate elsewhere across the world? As we tackle the world agenda—the long haul on climate and migration, and war—is it time to bet on hope and throttle back on despair? Qualities of civility and empathy are being considered and talked up increasingly. There is no shame in looking for optimism. Please join us for a hopeful summer discourse on our future.
