Transition and leadership challenges in the age of climate crisis

Humanity will need a revolution of the industrial revolution's scale with the speed of the digital revolution to confront the devastating changes brought about by the climate crisis. To do this, we need courageous leaders to confront the crisis of apathy and individualism. Creating a paradigm shift within our businesses and organizations requires stubborn optimism to set us on the path to a regenerative future. We need to give ourselves the right to make mistakes but surely not the right to do nothing.
