Are we keeping up?

From the way we grow our food to the way we communicate, our systems are shaping the future. Mike Berners-Lee, Stuart Gillespie and Louisa Guise will uncover what needs to change in our approach to sustainability, nutrition, and digital culture – offering sharp insights and fresh perspectives on how we can do better.

 

Mike Berners-Lee

“Climate action: Who’s really in control?” From business leaders to individuals, everyone plays a role in tackling climate change — but what actions actually make a difference? Join sustainability expert Mike Berners-Lee as he cuts through the noise and lays out the most effective solutions. Mike is a leading academic on carbon footprints, climate change, and sustainability. As professor at Lancaster University and the author of acclaimed books such as “There Is No Planet B”, he advises businesses and policymakers on how to make real progress in tackling the climate crisis.

Stuart Gillespie

“From feast to famine – the food crisis you didn’t see coming” Food is supposed to keep us healthy, yet our global food system is doing the opposite. Stuart has spent 40 years working with the UN to improve nutrition worldwide. He’ll show us why the system is failing—and how we can fix it. Stuart is a global expert in food policy, nutrition, and public health. With decades of experience working alongside the UN and leading research institutions, he has played a key role in shaping global food systems to be healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable.

Louisa Guise

“Logging off: Is digital detoxing even possible?” We’re constantly connected, but at what cost? Digital communications expert Louisa Guise explores how our relationship with technology is shaping modern life—and whether we can ever truly switch off. Louisa has over ten year’s experience leading digital marketing and communications for a number of renowned companies. Her book, “How to Leave a Group Chat”, explores the impact of modern communication and the struggle to disconnect in a hyper-connected world.
