In the next 50 years more will change than in the past 500 years,” says professor Jan Rotmans. “In a transitional phase we see chaos, but also fear for the pain of and increasing resistance for this transition.
After her studies in the 'earth system' (geography), Jill studied the chaotic system of the atmosphere (meteorology). She finds patterns, makes predictions and packages them in enlightening stories. But the current climate disruption is turning everything upside down. Our boundless hunger for growth at the expense of nature has completely disrupted the chaos in the atmosphere. And now we deal with extremes that we could not imagine before.
In the spirit of what Y. Harari describes as the importance of storytellers ("Through stories information is shared, in a way that it also creates an emotional connection with that information"), Jill inspires with stories based on underlying laws of nature…. She brings clarity in the uncertain, chaotic environment of companies and organizations. The IPCC's most recent climate report once again confronts us with the facts: we have to act now. Doing nothing is foolish and will turn out to be much more expensive.
