How to end dependence from fossil energy sources with Livio de Santoli & Angelo Consoli – The Future Now Show

Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in achieving EU objectives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 55% by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050. We are working on actions to facilitate the large-scale deployment of hydrogen use to contribute to climate neutrality. To achieve our objectives under the European Green Deal, we need to decouple economic growth from resource use. This will require a transformational change and the full mobilisation of industry. Our guests today are the international energy experts Livio de Santoli & Angelo Consoli. They describe a road map for the major energy transition ahead with a special focus on green hydrogen.

This is why Indigenous Peoples’ explicit and implicit knowledge is said to be the key to solving the Climate Crisis, Biodiversity Loss, and even the growing violence and greed spurred by the capitalistic and extractive global mindset. “ Jason Edward Lewis: “The concept of the future imaginary seeks to capture the ways people imagine the futures of their societies. In Indigenous contexts we often refer to the seventh generation to keep us mindful of how our actions in the present will affect our descendants.” Drew Hayden Taylor: “I’ve spent too many years explaining who and what I am repeatedly, so as of this moment I officially secede from both races. I plan to start my own separate nation. Because I am half Ojibway and half Caucasian, we will be called the Occasions. And of course, since I’m founding the new nation, I will be a Special Occasion.” Indigenous Peoples at the United Nations “Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences, indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples. Indigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities, way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources for years, yet throughout history, their rights have always been violated. Indigenous peoples today, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life.”

Through this understanding of ourselves, we will gain profound insights on where we succeed and where we fail as a living system.” Henry Plummer: “One is solid and static, the other illuminates and animates. Architects through the ages have preoccupied themselves with how to marry these two opposing aspects of architecture, a marriage that at its finest transforms natural light itself into a building material.” Peter Zumthor: “I’ve said goodbye to the overworked notion that architecture has to save the world.” Google: The Meaning of lightLight is a source of illumination, whether a natural one (like the sun) or an artificial one (like your lamp). Like light itself, the word can take a lot of different forms — it can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb, and it can mean “bright” or “not heavy”. What is the meaning of light in our life?Light, the essence of life itself. … Light is the main source of energy for all living organisms. Plants, main sustainers of life, are crucial in this conversion process and need light for photosynthesis that enables them to make their own food and food for others. What does light mean spiritually?In theology, divine light (also called divine radiance or divine refulgence) is an aspect of divine presence, specifically an unknown and mysterious ability of angels or human beings to express themselves communicatively through spiritual means, rather than through physical capacities. What is light energy?Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light consists of photons, which are produced when an object’s atoms heat up. Light travels in waves and is the only form of energy visible to the human eye.

Futurists about Sun & Light with Elisabet Sahtouris & Peachie Dioquino – The Future Now Show

The Earth’s climate system depends entirely on the Sun for its energy. Solar radiation warms the atmosphere and is fundamental to atmospheric composition, while the distribution of solar heating across the planet produces global wind patterns and contributes to the formation of clouds, storms, and rainfall.

This was twenty years ago the start of analog and digital space. At that time, I was very interested in networks, internet was still not yet public, but the concept of networks – social networks, mobility networks, etc.- was of course already known.” Greg Lindsay: “The future isn’t what it used to be. As the pace of social, technological, and environmental change accelerates, organizations are struggling just to make sense of the present, let alone spot threats and opportunities looming just over the horizon. The ability to anticipate, understand, plan for, and innovate around uncertainty has become a critical skill for designers, innovators, and strategists everywhere.

Hybrid Space with Elizabeth Sikiaridi – The Future Now Show

Elizabeth addresses the multifaceted notion of hybridity. With the contemporary cultural shift and paradigm change – with the focus readjusting away from divisions and boundaries to interconnections and networks, we are experiencing today a proliferation of hybridizations in all dimensions of contemporary life. Hybrid (combined physical and digital) spaces for communicating and living together are today rapidly developing. With hybrid space forming the core competency and focus of Hybrid Space Lab’s long-standing engagement, the objective of our work is to filter out the best of both worlds, the physical and the digital, and combine these dimensions intelligently and effectively. The key here is to influence developments, by “inhabiting technology, approaching technological developments from a cultural perspective in order to transform technologies in such a way, that they correspond to the way we want to live as a society.
