Climate Change and Long-termism: shaping our future today

Hi! I am Barbara Albert, the Co-CEO of 100% Renewables, a consultancy specialising in the development of net-zero strategies.
In this video, we explore the concept of long-termism, inspired by the insights of William MacAskill. Long-termism teaches us that the lives of future people are just as important as our own, and the choices we make now will have profound implications for their well-being.
We'll take a journey through time to understand the historical context of human impact on the planet and project forward to see how our decisions today could influence the lives of an estimated 80 trillion people who could be born in the next 700,000 years.
Key topics covered in this video:
Long-Termism and Climate Change: How adopting a long-term perspective can guide our actions to prevent catastrophic outcomes.
The Urgency of Net-Zero Emissions: Understanding the importance of achieving net zero by 2050 and how current targets are shaping our climate future.
Environmental Activism: The vital role of grassroots movements and global campaigns in driving meaningful climate action.
Stakeholder Capitalism: How businesses are evolving to prioritise the well-being of employees, communities, and the environment, moving beyond just profit margins.
