Part of the Values for a New World lecture series

Our environment, economy, societies, cultures and institutions are changing dramatically - too often for the worse. Without radical new approaches, our planet will become poorer, more violent, more authoritarian.

Thomas Homer-Dixon offers an argument for reinvigorating our cognitive strengths and belief systems to affect urgent systemic change, and renew hope in a positive future for everyone on earth.

Thomas Homer-Dixon is Director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University, and University Research Chair in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. He specializes in the use of complexity science to examine threats to global security. His latest book is Commanding Hope.
