Please join Sustainable SSU for the screening of the film 2040. 

Motivated by his 4-year-old daughter and concerns for the planet she will inherit, Damon Gameau embarks on a global journey to meet the innovators and change makers pioneering the best solutions already available to us today to improve the health of our planet and societies. Inspired by these discoveries and guided by the many children he consults with along the way, the film presents a compelling story and visuals to conjure a positive portrait of what 'could be' instead of the current dystopian future we are so often presented.

2040 is an aspirational film full of hope about the possibility to make changes that will shift the course for humanity and the planet. This is the narrative the next generation needs to see, to aspire to, and to believe is possible. Gaumeau blends traditional documentary with dramatized sequences and high-end visual effects to show how these solutions - including seaweed farming, empowering girls and women with education, automated vehicles and decentralized, renewable energy systems - could regenerate the world for future generations.
