VISIONS FOR OUR FUTURE

Visions for our Future: Jakob von Uexkull and the World Future Council present solutions to the pressing issues humanity faces. Recipients of the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the "e;Alternative Nobel Prize"e;, and representatives of the World Future Council offer visions and solutions on topics that include the future of nature, food, energy, regenerative cities, the economy, the rights and well-being of children and future generations, and how to combat climate change and enhance peace and disarmament. Jakob von Uexkull founded the Right Livelihood Award and the World Future Council and has been working for decades to ensure we pass on a healthy and peaceful planet with just societies to current and future generations. Von Uexkull liked to quote the following Asian proverb: "e;A falling tree makes more noise than a growing forest."e; This book is an appeal to focus on the growing forest and to ensure that it continues to grow.
