IRES Newsletter: April 29, 2024 | Check out this conversational series on changemaking for a better future on a beautifully connected planet. The path to a better future will be filled with stories of people doing inspiring things. But those people are human. They have their own origin stories, worries, cares, and visions of a beautiful tomorrow—both ecologically harmonious and socially fair. This podcast will connect the dots between the many facets of those better futures, illuminating how change happens—from the inside and beyond, through many Spheres of influence. IRES's Dr. Kai Chan and team will bring those stories to life in conversations we hope you’ll join!
