Leap

It’s clear that society needs to make a great leap to realise a sustainable future. But what will it take to make this happen? Naomi Klein, who has made a career out of studying shock events, says a shocking event (like a financial crisis or a pandemic) is necessary but not sufficient. The other two vital ingredients, she says, are a utopian imagination (meaning a compelling vision of what better looks like) and movement muscle (organised mobilisation of people behind powerful causes). Finally, we need to go beyond no’s (what we don’t want) to yes’s (what we do want).
