CLIMATE CHANGE & THE

PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE AS A MILLENIAL

Nick van Breda

@nickvbreda

The biggest problem we feel every day & only see our older generations, politicians, presidents avoid

DO MILLENIALS HAVE A VOICE IN THE SHIFT TOWARDS A HEALTHY LIVEABLE FUTURE WHEN THE NETHERLANDS IS STRONGLY ADDICTED TO FOSSIL FUELS?

Where in 1985 15 billion Euro, 4 billion more than gas income(?) went to the state in Gas income now half of it is privatised and lobbying any progression of the transition to green energy out. 9 billion could give every citizen a solarpanel on their roof.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MAINSTREAM IS NOT

EVEN HIDING ITS ADDICTION TO FOSSIL FUELS?

Met het aanwezige aardgas, de infrastructuur, industrie en kennis ambieert de Nederlandse overheid met de gasrotondestrategie ook in de toekomst een belangrijke speler op het gebied van gas te blijven.

Young highly educated people vote for green (Groenlinks) & efforts in innovation (D66) & the most people working today vote

against change for VVD & lower educated for PVV

CAN A RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT GOT EDUCATED AROUND SUSTAINABILITY MAKE THE SHIFT?

NOT ENOUGH.

Financing sustainable startups = HARD

Social entrepreneurs take 10 years to become a sustainable business

Activists do not yet have the tools & skills to become practivists.

3 Types of transition are needed to save the planet:

1. Personal Shift – Forget the old here are our new heroes! – How? Superhero game

2. Group & Organizational Transition – Towards a circular economy – How? Scenarioplanning & Exponential tech + new business models

3. System transition = Personal transitions + Group & Organizational Transitions + Bold radical ideas (Risk investment)
