London's What do we want as a Sustainable Planet Meetup

The world is in crisis and many people think we've gone past the tipping point and the planet is doomed.

However, there are those who have hope and faith in science that some can survive the polycrisis and get to live in a sustainable society and planet.

But there's a problem... There's no clear vision of what a sustainable society and planet should be, and without that destination, how can we set out on the journey to get there?

Please join like-minded people to discuss this. We'll agree an agenda at the start of the meeting.

Bring an open mind, suggestions and perhaps a pad of paper.

Here are some topics to be covered.
Please use the comments/chat to suggest other areas for consideration
Depending on the mood of attendees, the frequency of further meetups can be agreed.

WHAT DO WE WANT A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY AND PLANET TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE?

· A planet with clean atmosphere, oceans and soil with systems in place to keep them that way
· The abolition of poverty and hunger
· Equality of opportunity for all to achieve a peaceful and contented life without fear of physical or other violence
· Access to healthcare, hygiene and sanitation for all
· Access to quality education for all
· A more responsible system of financial structures which embraces the best of co-operative production, capitalism and other systems
· A safe justice system for all
· Societies which respect for the diversity of opinion, ethnicity, sexuality, religion
· Respect for the natural resources and fragility of Planet Earth and their finite capacity
· Societies where the more fortunate, stronger and healthier help those less strong, less fortunate or less healthy.
· Peaceful co-existence between the varying communities of the planet
What Freedoms ?
· Freedom to travel anywhere
· Freedom to worship (should there be limitation such as worship should not be based on destroying the existing system…??)
· Freedom from violence
· Freedom from hate
· Freedom from poverty (how define?)
· Freedom of speech
· Freedom from anxiety about the future
· Freedom from concentration of power
· Freedom to preserve culture and arts
· Freedom to make decisions about one’s body
· Freedom to seek representation and to represent others
