TALK: Rob Hopkins | Visionary Futures – From Imagination to Action

September 12 @ 17:00 - 19:00

Rob Hopkins is a renowned environmental activist, co-founder of the Transition Towns movement, and author of influential books on sustainability. He inspires communities worldwide to create resilient, sustainable local economies, promoting ideas such as reduced dependence on fossil fuels, fostering local economies, utilizing renewable energy sources, and launching community projects.

In a time of growing polarization, crises, and lack of political courage, the future can seems bleak. However, Hopkins will share examples of how visionary and engaged citizens, businesses, and politicians worldwide have managed to change society quickly, dramatically, and unexpectedly.

We invite citizens, practitioners, politicians, businesses, researchers, and administrators to seize this opportunity to learn from a leading voice in environmental action and to unleash their most ambitious visions of the future.

As our time calls for communities, businesses, and leaders who are not afraid to ask tough questions and rethink our economy and society, we bring this talk and the big, ambitious, bold, radical, daring, and bright ideas to the heart of our local democracy: Copenhagen City Hall – that will provide the setting for this event.

“If we wait for the governments, it’ll be too late; if we act as individuals, it’ll be too little; but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.” – Rob Hopkins

Join us on a journey to the other side of the great transition—and back again.

This event is done in cooperation with Municipality of Copenhagen and We Do Democracy.
