Living Between Worlds 4.6-What if we had to?

These calls began in early days of Covid pandemic, looking at the parallels and echoes of the Covid crisis and the climate crisis, as I was struck by the similar curves, and the common call for speed, scope, and scale in our global response. In our second year, we reframed our exploration as the challenge of "Living Between Worlds-with Grace, Dignity, and Power."
We began this session with a climate question: What if you had to?
What if the shit hit the fan? What if you, your company, your city, had to change dramatically, no matter how daunting the magnitude of change is? What if, instead of reducing emissions 50% by 2030, or 80% by 2040, or 95% by 2050, or whatever number it is? What if you had to zero them out in five years? Or by the new year? Or by tomorrow? What would you do?
Yes, of course this is completely unreasonable. But after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the entire US auto industry converted from civilian to military production in a matter of months. Not years. Months.
Because we had to. What if you had to?
That's where we started. Watch or listen to find out where we went.
