Maria Ritola

“What if we …. ? ”

This is the wonderfully optimistic and disarming way Maria Ritola begins many of her sentences. Words like ‘transformative’, ‘better’ and ‘opportunity’ refreshingly pepper her thoughts around the huge issues of our theme for this month, the big one, CLIMATE.

As one major spoke in the wheel of our very own Demos Helsinki think tank, Maria’s world leading research has opened up exciting new opportunities for public and private sectors created by shifts in the global climate. It’s about new approaches, new motivating ‘push’ factors and an invigorating rethinking of the mechanisms for action on this most crucial issue of unprecedented scale.

Its times like these we feel lucky to have such minds as Maria’s close at hand. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear her words and potentially reboot your ideas about our changing climate with her groundbreaking real world solutions which are being adopted by some of the biggest companies and governments, worldwide.
It’s exciting and it’s happening now.
