What gives you hope?Science! Not just because it’s inherently optimistic but also because it’s a practical way of improving things.I love the idea of cumulative knowledge; by observation, experiment and quantitative analysis you get closer to what is really going on. And that accumulates over time; it’s not just one person or one set of time but over many hundreds of years. That gives me hope. Who’s your hero? A person whose general interests and values really drives them well beyond job security or even acceptability. What the world needs now is...We have extensive scientific evidence that we’ve entered the Anthropocene. Today, if we look at climate science, biodiversity research, air pollution, or health related risks like pandemics, we have ample evidence that we are approaching potential irreversible changes in the life support systems on earth, and even in the stability of the entire planet. I believe that this is a moment to step up and work together, all people, whether we are scientists or not, experts, stakeholders, policymakers, civil society, business leaders, not only in observing and monitoring the pathways towards a sustainable future, but also using that information to shift to a new paradigm to find the solutions is really paramount.
