Co-founder of Transition Network Rob Hopkins and musician Mr Kit present some of their findings from their recent time travel to an irresistible 2030, where humanity has done everything possible to create a kinder, more equal future in response to the climate crisis.

They’ll be sharing field recordings, music and tales from incredible initiatives and places all over 2030 and the time portal they’re building to bring more and more people to this beautiful place, to help bring that future to here and now.
