GSB Webinars 2020 - 6

We humanity face the greatest challenges and opportunities we have ever faced. Mars is within reach, while on Earth our life-support system is under threat. Whether living under coronavirus quarantine, in an informal settlement, an overcrowded city or a base on the Moon or Mars our requirements are the same: including shelter, power, water, food and communication systems to keep in touch with each other. Sadly billions of us already live without adequate access to these basic resources and that was before the toll of the pandemic.

We invite you to join us for a free webinar with Dr Adriana Marais on Wednesday, 27 May 2020 to reflect on our world that has been developing at a breakneck pace. Our frantic lives leave few moments to reflect. Now is a time to think! Who are we as humans? Where are we going as a society? Is the current system one we are proud of?

Let’s take the opportunity that social distancing affords us and have a good think. Let’s reimagine our world and begin working towards a future of living in harmony with each other and the environment, whatever planet we are on.
