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.

Transformative Adaptation
Transformative AdaptationTransformative Adaptation is the quintessential idea whose time has come. To be ahead of the curve – and to be able to bend the curve better – read this book.
Transformative Adaptation is adaptation that works with, not against nature. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the same breath as it guards us against the impacts of those emissions. This helps transform our civilisation to be in readiness and in the direction that it needs to be, and makes life worth living). This book sets out TrAd as a theory and a practice, a community and an attitude.
