The Future of Global Systems Thinking

Join a special event to celebrate the 100th birthday of James Lovelock hosted by the University of Exeter Global Systems Institute

This event will take James’ pioneering approach to thinking about Earth as a living system, and explore how it can be applied to help create a better future.

The conference will feature an interview and Q&A with James Lovelock alongside invited keynotes, panel discussions, break-out workshops and poster sessions. Lovelock’s quest to understand the whole earth system sparked the development of Earth System Science and stimulated a generation of environmental scientists.

Invited are all those who have been inspired or provoked by Lovelock’s work to come together to explore Earth system thinking, and how it can help a transition towards global sustainability.

Researchers and students from the sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities are all warmly invited, as well as individuals and organisations committed to creating environmental sustainability eg policy makers, industry, NGOs, professionals, and citizens.
