The end of the world is what we make of it | Dr. Ginie Servant-Miklos | TEDxErasmusUniversityCollege

The science is clear: the world as we know it is coming to an end. We know, rationally, that infinite growth can’t continue on a finite planet, that climate change, biodiversity collapse, resources crunch, and socio-economic strains will reshape civilisation in short order, but we find that emotionally hard to accept. In this talk, I walk with you through the corridors of your mind, confronting the demons of denial and despair so we can commit to fighting for a liveable future together. We will reconcile with death, find meaning in struggle, and reconnect with our humanity to make the end of the world (as we know it) the beginning of something better.
