Stories of restlessness, disruption, conflagrations, faraday tents, myth-makers, bubble-worlds, local nomads, transformation, resilience and the power of the exponential. The VISIONS 2100 Project was launched at the COP21 conference in Paris in 2015. In the first instalment, Stories from your Future, the 80 contributors told of their hopes and fears for the long term. This took away the practicalities of today and considered what they really wanted. The stories were challenging, amazing and sometimes heart-warming. But 'vision without action is merely a dream' so the hard work of action must accelerate. The 82 contributors to Stories from 2030 work on identifying risks, harnessing finance, developing or deploying solutions and driving government action. They are the people that are driving the critical actions of this decade. In their stories, they address climate justice, collaboration across countries, companies and communities, adaptation of cities and economies, of ecosystems and biodiversity, of health and wellbeing. They tell what you can do to help. Contributors are from business, innovation, finance, journalism, politics, storytelling and the environment. Many are unsung heroes delivering immeasurable progress for world. Some have a bigger stage, such as Connie Hedegaard , Tony Juniper , Sir David King FRS , David Lammy MP , Katharine Hayhoe , Hunter Lovins , Jules Kortenhorst , Achim Steiner , Sharan Burrow and Bill McKibben . Read their stories as they report back from 2030 and decide on the part you will play this decade. It is time to stir! . . . . . . . . . . . . Praise for Visions 2100: Stories from Your Future "Good leaders know that you can load the dice by actively rallying people around a vision...there are not enough compelling visions of the happy, sustainable society to which we should be moving." - Financial Times, UK "..powerful stuff, written in a way that is both conversational and jaw-droppingly well-informed. The research effort involved in the book is obvious, and altogether dazzling." - The Fifth Estate, Australia
