“A Future We Can Love” with Susan Bauer-Wu

When the Dalai Lama and Greta Thunberg spoke for the first time in January 2021, millions of people around the world took notice. “It is encouraging to see how you have opened the eyes of the world to the urgency to protect our planet, our only home,” the Dalai Lama wrote to Greta before their meeting.

In her new book, “A Future We Can Love: How We Can Reverse the Climate Crisis with the Power of Our Hearts and Minds,” Susan Bauer-Wu shares the words of these two great figures, generations apart, bringing them into dialogue with cutting-edge climate scientists, activists, and spiritual leaders to start a world-changing conversation. Readers embark on a four-part journey toward active hope in the face of the climate crisis: from knowledge of climate science through the capacity for change, to the will that is needed and the actions we can take.

In partnership with the Flourish Foundation. Registration is recommended to save your seat. Book signing to follow. This event will be livestreamed and available to view later.
