2021 The Year of Broken Promises

2021 was a year of many promises, from a return to pre-covid life to new ways of defeating climate change. Was it all a lie? In this winter special, Paolo Destilo and Gilberto Morishaw recap the year by discussing the effects of vaccine hoarding, distrust towards Big Pharma and the phenomenon of the great resignation. Finally, they discuss the broken promises of COP 26 (Climate Change Conference) and that there is still hope for 2022. In this episode, we also mention Gilberto's first interview at Europe Matters, How to conquer colonialism, in which he talks about this troubling and provocative topic.  To find out more about Gilberto's work, check out how he redesigns the foundation on which local economies and communities are built through Kolektivo as well as the network of Global Shapers.
