Sustainable Narratives Conference 2020

Sustainable Narratives 2020 seeks to address the big questions facing humanity today. From wealth creation to governance systems, institutionalised religion, human rights and postmodernism, the four-day virtual event promises to put the most prevailing narratives of our times in the docks in the light of ‘sustainability’. To what extent do our narratives help us promote sustainable policies? To what extent are they useful in the twenty-first century in the light of globalisation; environmental degradation; conglomerations which are more powerful and influential than many nation-states; the rise of social media and tech giants; diminishing power of global institutions such as the United Nations; the rise of China – and the dichotomy caused by its own narratives; the rise of India – a synthetic culture which has its own emerging narratives which although closer to the west, is still significantly different.
