GerdTalks Episode 6 by Futurist Gerd Leonhard: Why and how Green is the new Digital (Audio)

Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

This is the Audio-version only of GerdTalks #6. The Sustainability Revolution will be even bigger - and vastly more existential - than the digital revolution. In this live-stream session (GerdTalks episode #6) I explained why and how Big Blue (Tech) + Big Green + Big Human (and yes, Big Planet) is the recipe for a Good Future. We have finally reached the technological and societal pivot points (including Covid-19 and now, the utterly worrisome Ukraine/Russia conflict) quickly propelling us out of the fossil fuel age. Rapid and decisive decarbonisation is on the agenda everywhere, and so is using exponential technologies such as AI, Deep Learning and the IoT to dramatically reduce pollution and overall inefficiencies in all sectors of our economies (traffic, transportation, food, construction, IT and many more). In this talk I outlined why I think 'Green is the new Digital' and what that means for the future of our economies, jobs & work, geopolitics, business and commerce as well as for our personal lives. The next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years - and if you're not on this new 'green everything / circular everything' agenda, you may find yourself outmoded and ignored by 2030. My presentation is followed by a q&a session using Youtube and LinkedIn chats / comments, Have a look at my new short film: The Good Future www.thegoodfuturefilm.com Video version on YT: https://youtu.be/WH-EiN0Xazw
