KEYNOTE LECTURE – THE EARTH TRANSFORMED: AN UNTOLD HISTORY
We are living through an age of revolutions. Perhaps the most profound concerns changes to the natural world: global warming, climate change, biodiversity loss and degradation of landscapes and resources pose questions that are not so much serious as existential. In the festival’s keynote lecture, Peter Frankopan will put the challenges of the 21st century in historical perspective and explain why it has never been more important to learn lessons from the past to understand the present, and to prepare for the future.
