    Why Water Holds the Key to Our Future with Ernest Bromeis & Natasha Fuerst

    Why Water Holds the Key to Our Future Season 2 - Episode 1 Ernest Bromeis - Water Ambassador Natasha Fuerst - Female Rights Activist It is human nature to explore the unknown, to seek what we have not yet seen, and to investigate what we find compelling. Water covers most of the Earth, and we all depend on it to survive, yet what happens in and on water remains unfamiliar to most of us. Deep sea divers often describe the ocean as another planet. Gravity feels different. Vast ecosystems remain unmapped. Species still exist beyond our knowledge and documentation. In this episode of Conversations That Shape Tomorrow, our discussion follows a single drop of water from a mountain peak to the open ocean. Along the way, we hear what it feels like to swim the length of the Rhine and to sail into the heart of the Atlantic.

    The Story of [y]our 2040 Season 1 - Episode 10 Reto Gurtner - Entrepreneur Chris Luebkeman - Futurist A different future begins when we choose to look honestly at the world our children will inherit. In a time when warning signs flash across climate, society, government, economies and local communities, this episode turns a gaze toward what it means to act together with intention. Host Jonelle speaks with the first co-founders of [Y]our 2040 - Chris Luebkeman and Reto Gurtner - about why they created the gathering, why they rooted it in Alpine villages, and how they imagine an event that returns every year from now until 2040. This conversation explores their focus on information, inspiration and implementation, their insistence on diversity and trust as core conditions for change, and their desire to align inner motivation with outer systems. It frames impact as a shared journey, held in a very real place that already feels the shifts of climate and culture. We invite you to consider what action you will bring to our collective future.

    Why Business Must Rethink Circularity with Raphael Gielgen & Oliver Brunschwiler

    Why Business Must Rethink Circularity Season 1 - Episode 9 Raphael Gielgen - Futurist Oliver Brunschwiler - Circular Economy Entrepreneur Circularity becomes real when beauty, honesty, and responsibility meet in the objects we live with every day. In a world flooded with short lived products and invisible digital systems, this episode explores what it truly means to design for a circular future. Jonelle sits with Rafael Gielgen from Vitra and Oliver Brunschwiler - formerly from Freitag - to explore how companies that make physical things face the hard truths of waste, materials, and time, while still creating objects people love, keep and want to use. This conversation challenges the idea that circularity is solved through marketing or recycling alone, and instead insists that waste is a design error that begins on the drawing board. It reframes beauty as a guiding force, suggesting that people care for and repair what feels meaningful. It reveals that real progress depends on collaboration, courage to fail, and a willingness to speak uncomfortable truths within our own comfortable bubbles. We encourage you to look at the things that surround you and ask where you can nudge processes and products from disposable to enduring.

    Government Strategies Transforming the Planet with Hans Bruyninckx

    Government Strategies Transforming the Planet Season 1 - Episode 8 Hans Bruyninckx - Environmental Policy Scientist Systemic change begins when we treat planetary limits as a starting point, not an afterthought. In a Europe facing climate disruption, biodiversity loss, and widening inequality, this episode explores how the European Green Deal reframes economic and political agendas around planetary boundaries. Chris speaks with Hans Bruyninckx from the European Environment Agency about what it means to build systemic sustainability transitions grounded in science and honest about power, politics, and uneven responsibility. The conversation challenges the assumption that nature is an externality to be priced, and instead places it at the core of twenty first century prosperity. It reframes your role from passive consumer to active citizen who can demand that finance, food systems, and public institutions move beyond small efficiencies toward structural change. It reveals that progress depends not only on scaling new solutions, but also on the resolve to stop harmful subsidies, fossil fuel dependence, and unjust patterns of inequality. We invite you to consider where your own influence lies and within which systems; and how you might support a more just and sustainable future.

    What Investing for Impact Really Means with Martina Mueller-Kamp & Nathalie Moral

    What Investing for Impact Really Means Season 1 - Episode 7 Martina Mueller-Kamp - Financial Manager Nathalie Moral - Business Leader Impact becomes real when we choose where to place our attention, energy, and courage. In a moment when urgency is clear yet pathways forward feel crowded with uncertainty, this episode explores how individuals and institutions decide what impact truly means. Entrepreneur and moderator Sunnie Groeneveld brings together Martina Müller Kamp from Graubunden Cantonal Bank and Nathalie Moral of KlimaNow to examine how choices about time, resources, and strategy shape the futures we make possible. Here we challenge the assumption that impact is simply the sum of good intentions and reframe it as a discipline grounded in clarity, informed decision making, and community involvement. Meaningful change emerges when diverse actors align personal conviction with transparent criteria, shared purpose, and a willingness to prototype before perfection. You are invited to consider where your own resources can create the most resonance and what story you will write.

    How Advocacy Shapes the Future Across Generations with Reto Knutti & Marie-Claire Graf

    How Advocacy Shapes the Future Across Generations Season 1 - Episode 6 Reto Knutti - Climate Scientist  Marie-Claire Graf - Intergenerational Advocate Climate urgency shifts systems when facts meet feelings and responsibility. In a world where climate science grows ever more conclusive, this episode explores how facts, feelings, and power intersect in the politics of change. Bruno Giussani joins climate scientist Reto Knutti and youth activist Marie-Claire Graf for a conversation that starts with clear data on climate and moves into questions of human behavior, political will, and intergenerational voice. This dialogue challenges the belief that more reports and sharper numbers will be enough, and instead asks what kinds of stories, emotions, and social innovations are needed to match the scale of the crisis. It reveals how fear, anger, and eco-anxiety can sit alongside courage, rest, and solidarity, and how young people are creating their own seats at decision making tables. This episode invites you to treat urgency as a lived practice, weaving honest facts together with brave empathy, reflection, and collective pressure.

    What Food Systems Can Teach Us About Circularity with Sue Tobler, Anastasia Hofmann, Naomi MacKenzie & Beat Karrer

    What Food Systems Can Teach Us About Circularity Season 1 - Episode 5 Sue Tobler - Astrophysicist Anastasia Hofmann - Entrepreneur Naomi MacKenzie - Entrepreneur Beat Karrer - Designer Change in the food system begins when people stop treating waste as an accident and start treating it as a design choice. In a world where perfectly good food still ends up in bins behind hotels and conference centers, this episode looks closely at what it takes to redesign that pattern from the inside. The conversation brings together Sue Tobler, Naomi MacKenzie, Anastasia Hofmann, and Beat Karrer, four entrepreneurs who work across the food system from cooking, measurement technology, and bioplastics, each of them driven by the moment they realized that business as usual was simply not good enough. This episode challenges the assumption that awareness alone will shift behavior and shows why hard data and visual feedback can move kitchens far more than abstract concern. It reframes food waste by asking what happens when you track every plate and every bin as carefully as revenue. It reveals that real progress lives in the tension between patience and urgency, between prototypes and regulation. We invite you to see every meal, every bin, and every rule as a practical place to start changing the system you live inside.

In a world where environmental warnings are no longer distant forecasts but daily realities, this episode explores how one person translates extreme expedition experience into practical guidance for climate action.

It reveals that the real work lies in meeting people where they are and shaping messages that resonate with their values rather than only with your own.

    Why Science Matters More Than Ever with Holger Hoff & Adrienne Grêt-Regamey

    Why Science Matters More Than Ever Season 1 - Episode 3 Holger Hoff - Environmental Scientist Adrienne Gret-Regamey - Urban Systems Professor Lasting change emerges when knowledge, emotion, and local experience are treated as equally vital forms of intelligence.

    Why Architecture Must Become Regenerative with Michael Pawlyn

    Why Architecture Must Become Regenerative Season 1 - Episode 2 Michael Pawlyn - Architect Real change in the built environment begins when we stop relying on exemplar projects and start shifting the paradigm that shapes them. In a world where climate reports warn of collapse while markets still claim they are not ready for real solutions, this episode explores why transformative ideas struggle to take root and what it takes to change that. Architect and author Michael Pawlyn joins Chris to trace his journey from pioneering green projects to questioning why so many never leave the drawing board. The conversation turns to Donella Meadows and the question of leverage, revealing that many designers intervene at the shallow end of complex systems instead of at the level of mindset and story. This episode challenges the assumption that more demonstration projects are enough and reframes change as a shift from sustainable thinking that mitigates harm toward regenerative thinking that optimizes positive impact. It invites you to see yourself as an active shaper of new paradigms, not just a witness to failing ones Connect with [y]our2040 Website: www.your2040.com Linktree: Explore all our platforms Credits: Host: Chris Luebkeman Video and Audio: Newsroom Producer: Kinny Tran-Marazza Executive Director: Jonelle Simunich Recorded in 2021

Nigel Topping, Patrick Frick, and Viktoria Cologna share a conversation that moves between global negotiations, local commons, and the psychology of how people decide to care and act. The episode challenges the idea that one master lever or single policy will save us and instead points toward law, investment, procurement, public pressure, and everyday conversations as interlocking forces.
