SUMMARY:SusTech Talk October 2026 - The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family
DESCRIPTION:The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family\nSatya Brata Das\nTuesday\, October 27\, 2026\, 6-7 pm PT\nThe U.S. and a host of major corporations have shelved their efforts to replace carbon-spewing technologies with clean energy. Despite years of international pledges\, global efforts have failed to stop rising temperatures from endangering the planet. Yet in The Manifesto of Hope\, published this October\, the author\, a journalist and veteran of global climate conferences\, shows that the effort to make the world green and more fair\, especially for the Global South\, is an unstoppable force.\nSustainability is being powered by solid economics: Green and renewable energy is much more profitable and economically viable than any new fossil fuel ventures. The world is moving ahead with sustainability plans\, and in the absence of the U.S.\, the leaders will be China and India.\nAt a time when efforts by global politicians have stalled while climate emergency\, conflict\, and corruption have corroded all our aspirations for a just society in a liveable planet\, the author aims to empower citizen leaders to push for tough and enforceable measures to save the planet and our species. Since IEEE Planet Positive 2030 is central to the actionable solutions in the book\, this talk is a good opportunity to discuss the implications of Strong Sustainability by Design and how it can be implemented. "The future is a matter of choice\, not fate\," the author says. "Let us choose to lead."
