RSA Events

The future of sustainability


Listen Later

As we face the challenges of climate change, inequality, and environmental degradation, we know that simply sustaining is not enough.

To achieve this, we need a radical reimagining of our current systems – from economic and political to food and energy. And we need a new collective story for humanity. One that celebrates our fundamental interconnection with all life on Earth and galvanises collaborative action.

Linking speakers in the historic Great Room of the RSA in London and the UK Pavilion at Expo 2025, this event will hear from the next generation of disruptors, influencers and innovators who are building new movements to move us from the passive ‘do less harm’ principle of sustainability, to the active ‘do more good’ principle of regeneration, and seeding a flourishing future for people, places, and the planet we all share.

Chair:
  • Lucy Siegle, Journalist and Author (London)
  • Carolyn Davidson, UK Commissioner General for Expo 2025 (Osaka)
Speakers:
  • Amy Meek, Co-Founder, Kids Against Plastic (London)
  • Tessa Devreese, Programme Lead, ReLondon (London)
  • Brendan Barrett, Professor, Centre for Global Initiatives (Osaka)
  • Jesusoorefunmi Olaoye (Soore), Co-Founder, Energyz Black, Commercial Manager at OVO (London)
RSA and UK at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai

A bold new events partnership celebrating the UK as a place to come to study, visit and invest, and as a country of innovation and creativity where the world can come to build the future.

With the deadline to the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals just five years away, the RSA and UK at Expo 2025 partnership will tackle global issues from inequality to climate change, exploring the progress that has been made and the work still to be done to secure health and wellbeing, peace, justice, and prosperity for communities worldwide.
