[ONLINE] – Governing for the Future
- Virtual
- 12PM 鈥 1PM EDT
How do we govern for the long haul? Humans are manipulating the planet in ways that will play out for centuries, but our decision-making is often myopic and localized. The few concerted global responses to the climate crisis we have been able to muster are torturously slow, while the fires, floods, and storms seem to get more deadly every year. Join us for a conversation about how we can use science fiction, storytelling and imagination to contend with the wicked problems of the twenty-first century and start thinking, planning, and acting for the long term.
The event will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into Spanish.

[EN L脥NEA] – Gobernando para el futuro
驴C贸mo podemos gobernar para el futuro? Los seres humanos estamos manipulando el planeta de maneras que tendr谩n efectos por siglos, pero nuestro proceso de toma de decisiones es a menudo miope, desorganizado e inconsistente. Las pocas respuestas coordinadas a la crisis clim谩tica que hemos podido reunir son tortuosamente lentas, mientras los incendios, las inundaciones y las tormentas cada a帽o se vuelven m谩s mort铆feros. Convergence Lab y Future Tense, en colaboraci贸n con Letras Libres, te invitan a una conversaci贸n sobre c贸mo podemos usar la ciencia ficci贸n y la imaginaci贸n para lidiar con los problemas m谩s grandes del siglo XXI, y empezar a pensar, planear, y actuar con el futuro en mente.
El evento ser谩 en ingl茅s con interpretaci贸n simult谩nea al espa帽ol.
