  • Summary

  • Ben Rawlence is an award-winning writer, activist and co-founder of Black Mountains College, Wales. He has written extensively about the human consequences of environmental catastrophe in Africa, and later turned his attention to similar issues in Europe and the Arctic. Ben's research led him to focus on building institutions that promote new ways of thinking, seeing, and learning, with a particular focus on climate adaptation through localization.

    In this concise episode, Ben introduces the Black Mountains College project against the backdrop of a mainstream educational and economic system that is unfit for the future. He discusses the paramount need to reinvent education to prepare people and communities for a future in which intersecting global challenges will necessarily be met with local solutions.
