Martin Koehring spotlights the crucial role of a fair and regenerative mindset as the foundation for a bridge leading to a new path of recovery. He addresses the "poly-crisis" - a term encompassing five interconnected global crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, injustice, and conflicts. This crisis, worsening over the decades, creates a perfect storm that undermines human resilience, leaving many feeling powerless. Koehring argues for the importance of leveraging greater possibilities in a self-sustaining and positively reinforcing manner through systematic use of tools designed to spark a mindset shift from the inside out, from individual to collective. Martin is Global Director of Impact at the International non-profit organisation Forum for the Future. He leads the International Impact team, which works across four geographics in partnership with business, government and civil society.
Prior to joining Forum, Martin held leadership positions at Economist Impact, part of The Economist Group and publisher of The Economist newspaper. He led the World Ocean Initiative and Economist Impact’s sustainability, climate change and natural resources practice in the EMEA region – Europe, Middle East, Africa. As part of his broader engagement with sustainability, Martin is a trustee of the New Economics Foundation (a think tank focused on social, economic and environmental justice). He also sits on the Thomson Reuters Foundation Inclusive Economies Advisory Group and the Sustainable Brands Turkey Global Advisory Board. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
