Earth Optimism, a free, open-to-all event

This is a 10 day event that started on the 26th. It will feature talks by conservationists and celebrity speakers such as Sir David Attenborough, Liz Bonnin and Chris Packham

Join us in 2021 in celebrating conservation successes through our Stories of Hope programme. As well as talks we will host interviews with conservation entrepreneurs and showcase videos capturing real-world conservation gains from around the globe. We're also hosting a Solutions Fair where you can discover and share practical advice on everyday actions we can all take to make a real difference to the planet.

Earth Optimism is a worldwide movement aimed at fundamentally shifting how we frame the environmental narrative, from one of doom and gloom to one focused on solutions and success. Earth Optimism has emerged from two key realisations: that fear without hope leads to apathy rather than action, and that conservation successes are numerous but largely invisible to the general public.

The last few years have seen an unprecedented groundswell of concern for the future of our planet.

Earth Optimism 2021 will respond to the call for positive change, and help translate activism to action. Led by the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, this online celebration will bring people together to share our understanding of what works in conservation and how we can make the changes we know are needed on the ground, in the workplace, and in our everyday lives. Across generations and across the world people are calling for action, and asking for that action to evidence-based. Earth Optimism 2021 will showcase some of the extraordinary efforts already being made, explore why they are working, and consider how they can be scaled up.
