Welcome to 2026. We’re only 4 years from 2030, the year set out in the Paris Climate Agreement for limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. We know achieving this seems increasingly impossible. What we need now more than ever is hope, optimism, and radical collective imagination. It’s a new year and book club is back.

Bring on Rob Hopkins’ new book: How to Fall in Love with the Future. Set out is a manifesto of sorts to imagine what the future holds, the thinking and skills required. Perfect for those in the built environment building it right now. So let us time travel together to 2030, to the one where we win.

As always if you don’t have time to read the book then no worries. Our usual friendly catch up session will run in a separate room at the start. This session will focus on specific topics from the book, so join the Climate Literacy WhatsApp chat to stay in the loop.

Expect all the thought-provoking conversation of a late-night pub debate, just with more clarity the next morning!
