President's Message: Vision 2030

By Guy Dauncey on December 5, 2008

Think ahead to the Year 2030. How will we be living? What will our world look and feel like?

Are your thoughts for the future all doom and gloom? Or do you think we will have achieved amazing things, and be deeply engaged in creating a post-carbon world?



It is critically important that we get a firm grip on this, because if we are not guided by a conscious vision of the future we want to see, we will be guided by an unconscious vision of the present we already have.



The financial crisis may seem the most urgent, but don’t be mistaken. It is akin to the boilers on the Titanic breaking down, so the ship stops moving. The climate crisis is akin to the whole ocean breaking down.
