Café Hope: How nurturing hope leads to tangible actions in the midst of overwhelming biodiversity loss and climate challenges


Small Room

Hope motivates, inspires, grounds us in purpose and action. Meet experts from around the world who share why they have hope for our Earth and why you should, too

Hope is said to be a bulwark against the despair that would be an all-too-natural reaction among the conservation community in the midst of overwhelming biodiversity loss and climate challenges. The centrality of hope is often touted as an important ingredient in conservation success. Experts will share how hope has provided the inspiration, agency and pathways to success that is needed for environmental action to succeed. Their struggles and the triumphs will be discussed in equal measure. Café Hope will encourage conservationists to have active hope, inspire action and to make the nature positive vision a reality.
