While not ignoring the responsibility of governments and organizations to put in place the legislation and action needed to adapt to climate change, the third segment of Act I will focus on the steps that can be taken to change lifestyle habits and behavioral patterns. From fashion to plastic, food, architecture, health, economics and education — participants will look through a critical lens at the devastating impact that overconsumption is having not only on the planet, but on personal wellbeing. Join a live Q&A with environmental expert, author and Professor Tim Kasser to explore the link between values and materialism to discover how reconnecting to intrinsic values will help build sustainable lifestyle habits.

Landscape segment

The whims of weather patterns are often used as a barometer to determine the scale of climate change, but the solutions lie firmly on the ground. Join a journey across many landscapes to learn about solutions that lie within them; from bamboo growing in Ghana to ambitious plans for landscape restoration in Australia, from seascapes to mountains, reconnections will be made virtually through relationships to the land. Lessons will be learned from people working in hands-on roles on landscape-based climate change solutions.

Climate segment

Join this around-the-world journey to learn more about the connections between climate change challenges. Mary Robinson barely needs an introduction as the leading voice and advocate for climate justice, opens this segment with a heartfelt message touching on the stories of the people who are among the most affected by climate change. Community members from Africa, South America, India, the Small Island States and more will share their experiences, which will be woven together with voices from artists, women, leading organizations, scientists, youth and Indigenous Peoples, all working to mitigate climate change.
