What lurks behind the climate crisis? Could it be that the child-like view we have of the world – as something separate from ourselves, as a resource to plunder, control and colonise – sits at the very heart of it? And could it be that our patriarchal society is rewarding this immature boy-like behaviour instead of rewarding wisdom?Jonathan Wise enjoyed an award-winning career in advertising, but in 2009 awakened to the part he was playing in promoting unsustainable lifestyles, quitting his job and studying a masters degree in sustainability. He has since played an instrumental role in the UK ad industry’s response to the climate crisis, co-founding the Purpose Disruptors, and working to reshape the industry to tackle climate change.
