October 7 … noon to 1:30 pm \n\n\nImagining the Path Forward—Finding a Hopeful Story for an Ominous Future with Kim Stanley Robinson – October 7\, 2021 \nKim Stanley Robinson is an award-winning science fiction writer whose novels frequently explore the ways human beings can respond to unique challenges. His most recent book\, ”Ministry for the Future\,” is an epic exploration of potential future human responses to climate change. One of the major themes explored in this fascinating work is how the economy might be redirected to enable a successful de-escalation of climate change. Mr. Robinson will bookend the Economy and Climate Forum by encouraging us to consider our options for the future and how we might find our path to creatively and equitably solve this existential crisis. \nPart 6 of The Boulder Forum on Economy\, Climate and Community\, a six-part webinar series that will explore how we can create an economy in service of an equitable\, livable and sustainable world. Drawing on leaders in fields central to solving both the climate crisis and a series of interrelated crises—energy systems\, material economy/consumption\, ecosystems and biodiversity—the webinars will underscore the focus on the role of the economy in driving these crises as well as its potential role in their solutions.\n \n\nEvent page \nRecap of event \nVideo of event (Vimeo)

SUMMARY:TEDMonterey: The Case for Optimism
DESCRIPTION:TEDMonterey Aug 1-4 2021 \n\n\nThe event: TEDMonterey: Session Zero\, hosted by TED’s Chris Anderson and Helen Walters\, live from the TED World Theater in New York City\, on Wednesday\, July 21\, 2021 \nKim Stanley Robinson\, sci-fi writer \nBig idea: A sci-fi vision of humanity’s triumph over the climate crisis — from the vantage point of the year 2071. \nHow? Coming to us from 50 years in the future\, science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson explains how the 2020s — or the “Terrible 20s\,” as they’ll come to be known — marked a turning point in the climate crisis. Robinson envisions how\, after two global pandemics and a series of deadly international heatwaves\, the world’s nations joined their central banks to form the Network for Greening the Financial System and enacted the “carbon standard.” While it may sound impossible to us in 2021\, the carbon standard created new fiat money “precisely in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide taken out of the atmosphere.” This dramatic change in fiscal policy made work that helped to heal the planet profitable — like regenerative agriculture\, clean energy infrastructure\, expansion of mass transit\, reforestation and habitat restoration. In hindsight\, Robinson says he can see that people in the 2020s met challenges that no other generation had ever faced\, but\, in his words\, “those people really stepped up.” It’s a rousing vision of how humanity might unite in the coming decades and restore the damage done to Earth’s biosphere.\n \n\nEvent page \nTEDMonterey site \nKSR’s TED talk

SUMMARY:UC Riverside: Science Fiction & Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:University of California Riverside \nScience Fiction & Climate Crisis \n\n\nJoin us for the first event in our free lecture series that explores what science fiction might teach us about real-world problems. \nKim Stanley Robinson – Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of over twenty books\, including the internationally bestselling Mars trilogy\, and more recently Red Moon\, New York 2140\, and The Ministry for the Future.  \nin conversation with \nGerry Canavan – Associate Professor of English (Marquette University)\, journal editor and author of Octavia E. Butler (University of Illinois Press\, 2016)\, among other works. \nModerated by Sherryl Vint – Professor\, UCR (English/Media & Cultural Studies)\, Director of the Speculative Fictions and Cultures of Science Program \nOne of the distinct characteristics of science fiction is that it can tell stories that exceed normal human time scales\, spanning hundreds\, if not thousands of years. It often narrates such stories from nonhuman perspectives\, drawing attention to how human lives are entangled with and dependent upon ecosystems and other species. These qualities make it an ideal genre for grappling with the reality of climate change: how our past contributed to the climate crisis today and how the near-future might unfold\, along one path if we take action or another if we fail to. \nThis series is sponsored by the Center for Ideas and Society\, Speculative Fictions and Cultures of Science Program\, Palm Desert Center\, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC Riverside.\n \n\nTuesday\, April 6\, 2021 at 6:00pm to 7:00pm \nVirtual Event \nEvent page \nReport on event

SUMMARY:Nobel Prize Summit: Our Planet\, Our Future
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Stories: Writing the Future of Our Planet \nJoin us for this prelude to the Nobel Prize Summit as we discuss the way stories have the power to impact our vision of the future. \n\n\nTogether\, we are writing the future of our planet. In the same way that we are living with the deeds and decisions of the past\, the choices made and actions taken by those of us alive today will bear direct impact on the generations who come after we are gone. But how we imagine our future and tell those stories can serve as a predictor of what is to come. As prelude to the first-ever Nobel Prize Summit at the end of April\, Nobel Prize Laureate Martin Chalfie\, screenwriter Joe Robert Cole\, and novelist Kim Stanley Robinson will examine the way in which those stories have the power to impact our vision of the future. \nModerated by Shahzeen Attari\, who researches the factors that motivate action on climate change\, this wide-ranging and eclectic conversation promises to be hopeful\, optimistic\, and above all\, inspiring. \nThis event will be co-hosted by The Exchange and the National Academies’ Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability. For more Information about the Nobel Prize Summit\, visit the Nobel Prize Summit website: https://www.nobelprize.org/events/nobel-prize-summit/2021\n \n\n  \nDate and time\nWed\, March 31\, 2021\n  \n10:00 PM – 11:00 PM CEST \n  \nLocation \nOnline event \nEvent page \n

SUMMARY:British Library: Future Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Future Thinking: Kim Stanley Robinson and Roman Krznaric \nMon 29 Mar 2021\, 19:30 – 20:45 \nOnline event \n\n\nHow do we make the world better today for the people of tomorrow? \nDespite the long history of human civilisation\, and everything we have inherited from our ancestors\, we rarely stop to really consider what the future will be like for those who follow us\, and how our own actions now will affect them. Kim Stanley Robinson is one of the world’s most acclaimed science fiction writers\, best known for his Mars trilogy and the ecological\, cultural\, and political themes of his books\, in which scientists often feature as heroes. His most recent novel\, The Ministry for the Future\, imagines how a UN body is set up to fight for the rights of our descendants and how increasingly direct action starts to be used to counter crisis after crisis. Blending stunning\, kaleidoscopic writing with hard fact\, it explores huge challenges but also a truly better world. \nAt this special event\, chaired by award-winning science writer Gaia Vince\, he is joined by leading public philosopher Roman Krznaric\, whose book The Good Ancestor also looks beyond the frenetic short-term thinking of today and uses inspiring examples to show how we might do better by future generations\, just as those before built cathedrals\, or the NHS. \nThe call for long-term thinking grows every day – but what is it\, has it ever worked\, and can we even do it? Join us for an evening of expanded time horizons.\n \n\nEvent page \nRecording on YouTube
