Join the Earth Optimism Digital Summit! The 50th anniversary of Earth Day is next week and in recognition, the Smithsonian Institution will be hosting the 2020 Earth Optimism Digital Summit from April 22-24th. Watch the LIVE broadcast online on Facebook Live, Twitter, Youtube and on the Earth Optimism website. More than 100 global leaders will share successful conservation strategies being deployed worldwide and discuss how to scale and mainstream these strategies to achieve transformative change. Earth Optimism aims to fundamentally shift how we frame the narrative about our planet – from doom and gloom to optimism and opportunity. Started in 2017 through a partnership between the Smithsonian Institution and the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, the Earth Optimism movement emerged from two key realizations: 1) that fear without hope leads to apathy rather than action, and 2) that conservation successes are widespread yet not widely appreciated. You won’t want to miss this inspiring three-day event! Join us on Earth Day and please share this announcement widely!
