"A sustainable future won’t happen by itself. To achieve it, we need to set out clear, compelling visions of what it can look like, and draw up a route map for getting there. And we need to reframe our economy so that it can drive that transition. Over the last few years, Forum For The Future has set the pace for futures thinking on sustainability. In doing so, it’s become clear that we need to focus on the positive and compelling visions of what a low-carbon future would look like". Mr. Peter Madden

Join us for this Alfred Deakin Eco-Innovation Lecture as Peter Madden examines how we can frame our green visions of the future, define the importance of positive collective stories, and realise that we do have the power to shape what is to come.

Peter will examine the scale and urgency of the environmental challenges facing us, highlighting the role of creativity and innovation in finding solutions and fashioning a low carbon future for us all.

Peter will present a compelling set of case studies, recounting what some leading global businesses, such as Cadbury, Unilever, Pepsico and Akzo Nobel are doing in partnership with FFF to embrace the low carbon economy.

He will then ask where Government and consumers are, and what part they need to play in this global project?
