While climate change denial garners headlines, the true obstacle to climate action isn't public concern—a majority of Americans are worried. Instead, the real roadblock is our collective unwillingness to financially support solutions.

This insight comes from David Wallace-Wells, a national fellow at New America and columnist for New York magazine. His latest book is The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming. Read more at BigThink.com.

Liberal democracy faces significant threats from rising populism and its struggle to address complex societal challenges, including the climate crisis. This necessitates bold, radical ideas for both policy solutions and the processes required to implement change, especially concerning economic growth expectations.

Caroline Lucas MP and Professor David Runciman will explore diverse approaches to these multifaceted concerns. They will specifically consider whether deliberative processes can effectively engage citizens in political decision-making, thereby strengthening representative democracy.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.
