For you, our societies and economies, and all of life | March 10 – May 5, 2023

FREE SIGNUP



The New Climate is an eight-week decentralized online conference on ecological intelligence and inclusive tech for a life-centered economy.


Brought to you by HoBB in partnership with INDEED Innovation and Gryphon Agency, it will take place on March 10 – May 5, 2023; the participation is free.

Agenda


This is the end of the human-centered era—but that doesn’t have to be the end of us. Not if we can seize this moment to begin relinquishing the idea of being the center of the universe, associated toxic ideas of exploiting and extracting the natural world, and shift instead towards societies—and economies— that honor and support all living systems—including human life itself.

How can Western societies become more attuned to nature again? Whose stories should we be listening to? How will we reckon with the inherent dilemma of net-positive goals, impact metrics, and ESG investing amid neoliberal economics? And how might more inclusive tech enable climate-positive and regenerative business and innovation?



Program


The New Climate follows a weekly rhythm: at the beginning of each week, you’ll receive a compact email with the latest and greatest, including the upcoming live online sessions, on-demand content, and other updates.

The live sessions will take place on Zoom every Wednesday or Thursday at 5–6 p.m. CET | 11-12 a.m. EST | 8–9 a.m. PST. In case you miss a session, you’ll be able to find recordings in our library.

The real-time climate conversation will take on Discord, “a Slack for communities,” as they call it, which serve as a central hub for all communications and connections.
