But Atwood also looks at how the future can be shaped by the actions of changemakers today. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn’t \u2018the future\u2019 that we’re doomed to enact. There are all kinds of possible futures. And which one we’re going to get is going to depend on what we do now,\u201d \u00a0\u00a0Atwood\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The class invites participants to collaborate within a virtual classroom to unlock practical solutions to some of humanity’s greatest challenges while developing crucial skills to be a more creative, innovative, and effective change agent today.\u00a0
The online event is sponsored by\u00a0Project Drawdown, Sustainable Development\u00a0Solutions Network, SDG Academy, Indigo<\/strong>\u00a0and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
