For the first time in 75 years, the whole world is focused on the same problem and, in the process, mobilizing unprecedented political will, state authority and fiscal resources as well as relying on scientists to build evidence-based policies. How do we transfer all of that energy to addressing even the larger, more deadly challenge of climate change?
We invited Tomas Anker Christensen, Denmark’s Climate Ambassador, and Daniel Martinez-Valle, Chief Executive Officer of Orbia, a Mexico based global company, to discuss both the need and opportunity for urgent, positive creative climate activism in the wake of the pandemic. Listen as they discuss the need to develop effective partnerships between government and corporations, to find a better balance between globalism and nationalism, and to innovate solutions that assure the transformation to a low carbon economy creates, rather than destroys, jobs, growth and economic opportunity.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has exposed deep fissures in the global political and economic fabric. For democracy to survive, the social contract needs to be reimagined; economies needs to be re-engineered and climate change - that is now accelerating at a pace that could quickly dwarf the consequences of the pandemic - needs to be confronted.
In this episode of the Tällberg Foundation’s “New Thinking for a New World” podcast, Danish politician and former President of the UN General Assembly Mogens Lykketoft argues that these inter-related challenges demand urgent action—and that if humanity moves fast, we could find new paths to a new, shared prosperity.

In the midst of a global pandemic, many countries, leaders and people have turned local. That is not all bad: some people are working to strengthen their local communities, exploring new grassroots solutions and showing support for local businesses. Could these contribute to a new normal that is more people-oriented and more sustainable? Is it possible to build a new kind of globalism from the ground up?
Listen to Rosario Diaz Garavito, founder of The Millennials Movement, Baiqu Gonkar, founder of Art Represent and David Ross, an environmental entrepreneur with 20 years of experience in waste-energy, discuss the possibilities for a different future to emerge from the Covid crisis in this episode of the Tällberg Foundation’s New Thinking for a New World podcast.
