A world we want to live in
In this discussion we’ll try to get a better sense of what the world would look like if we’re successful in our climate change leadership.
1. Setting goals
Read this short background: Sustainable development goals: all you need to know and look at this web page: Sustainable development goals: changing the world in 17 steps – interactive to get an overview. Do think there’s any goals or issues missing? Which goals are the most relevant for you and your climate change leadership work?

2. A world you want to live in
The question is: What kind what world you want to live in? How would a day in your life look like? How do you spend your time, where and with whom? In which year do you imagine this being? How does the world around you look like? Remember that is how the world would look like according to what you value, care about and believe is right, but it doesn’t have to be an utopian paradise that defies that laws of physics.
3. How could a transition to this world be started?
How could a transition (practical, political, personal from O’Brien) to the world you want live in be started?
