 What will the future of humanity look like over the coming decades? Will the world find itself on an irreversible trajectory towards continued environmental destruction, massive inequity and social unrest and insecurity? Or, will we see a popular power and political determination emerge, able to bring about a more just world? Come and listen to the Right Livelihood Award recipients discussing our world, our future and what it means to take action.
