For some time, I have been sitting with a question:
For some time, I have been sitting with a question:
Why, despite everything we know about ecological breakdown, does meaningful action still struggle to move at the pace this moment asks of us?
We have data. We have evidence. We have increasingly sophisticated models of prediction.
And yet there remains a widening gap between awareness and action.
In June, I will be joining The Klosters Forum in Switzerland, a small invitation only gathering built around a question that feels deeply connected to that tension:
What role might culture play in ecological transformation? And in tackling the ecological crisis, have we overlooked it as a system level lever for change?
This year’s theme, The Cultural Turn: Centering Creative Forces for Ecological Change, arrives at an important moment. Because perhaps this is not only an environmental crisis, a policy crisis, or a technology crisis.
Perhaps it is also a relationship crisis.
An imagination crisis.
A listening crisis.
A crisis of separation from the more than human world and from the forms of knowing we have learned to marginalise.
What interests me about TKF is that it is intentionally small. Eighty people. Artists, scientists, environmentalists, technologists, storytellers, policymakers, investors, systems thinkers. Not gathered for performance, but for inquiry. A living laboratory for difficult conversations, deep thinking, and the kind of unexpected collaborations that systems change actually requires.
I will also be joining a panel conversation asking:
In tackling the ecological crisis, have we overlooked culture as a system level lever for change?
For me, this sits close to the work I have been doing across AI, leadership, ecology, and mental health for years.
Not simply asking what we know.
But asking what kinds of intelligence the moment now requires.
This is the work.
And I am looking forward to being in the room.
