Humanity's Relationship with the Natural World

Our world today has been created as a result of consumption mindsets, but increasingly we are becoming aware of the unsustainable nature of such an approach. Our growing understanding of the complex and interconnected processes that make up the fragile natural systems on which we ultimately all rely is increasingly shaping our political, business, and personal lives and outlook.

So how might our relationship with the natural world evolve and what role could technology play in helping us enable a more sustainable world?

Informing Choices Mini-Pod - The Future Five Grand Challenges

Grand challenges are more than ordinary research questions or priorities, they are end results or outcomes that are global in scale; very difficult to accomplish, yet offer hope of ultimately paving the way to a successful future for humanity. Many people will point to the Covid19 pandemic as the point at which society chooses between restoring the old order and navigating a new landscape. So what grand challenges do we see ahead of us?

To discuss the Future Five Grand Challenges in this wide ranging (and slightly longer than usual episode), I am delighted to welcome back Global Futurist, International Keynote Speaker, and CEO of Fast Future, Rohit Talwar to the podcast.

Foresight Video Shorts 1

One thing I often to say to conference delegates about keeping abreast of innovative—often, but not exclusively tech—ideas, is follow a number of information providers and vendors on social media platforms and watch a few of their short videos. I recommend Techinsider, Mashable, and World Economic Forum.

Here are five videos I found interesting on Twitter:

1. Inventions leading to a better future on Earth (from Techinsider) 4

2. Five rules to make AI a Force for Good (from Spell) 

3. These Lego-like bricks are actually robots (from Mashable) 

4. ​The future is green (from World Economic Forum) 

5. These drones are taking on tasks so humans don't have to (from, Mashable)
