A day of global conversation on Solarpunk, a movement and a subgenre of speculative fiction in which humanity has addressed climate change.

How might we consider decentralisation of power, in quite literal terms? Could we—and should we—consider pathways to facilitate energy-independence and autonomy at a community level? - Prof. Joshua Pearce (he/him) Professor of Sustainable Innovation & Writer, Canada - Emilio Veli (he/him) Director of Appropedia, El Salvador - Sophie Paul (she/her) Director of Reading Hydro, United Kingdom Moderated by: Francesco Verso (he/him) Sci-Fi Writer / Editor, Italy https://solarisecon.org/
