Transformative Adaptation by Rupert Read
Transformative Adaptation is a positive form of adaptation, acknowledging the seriousness of climate chaos, understanding that there are no short term fixes and also finding ways to reduce our impacts in all aspects of life that also transform our lives and society at large.Rupert Read is co-director of the Climate Majority Project and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of several books, developed the concept of Transformative Adaptation and also invented the term 'Thrutopia'; an act of imagining the actual mechanics of how we transition from this broken, collapsing world to one that is in a process of transformation and healing on all levels. Since then he has been building Thrutopianism into his creative and scenarios work, including his viral internet short Out of the Ashes.
