• Jane Goodall [ONLINE] – ethologist, conservationist

CLICK AND WATCH LIVE

Jane Goodall, DBE, PhD – founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and activist inspiring greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world. Through her tireless advocacy to create a better future for people, other animals, and the planet we share, Dr. Goodall inspires millions of people with her message of hope through action. She is best known for groundbreaking studies of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, transformative research continued by the Jane Goodall Institute which is now the longest running wild chimpanzee study in the world. 

Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. From earliest childhood, she was fascinated by animals and the wildlife of Africa she discovered in the storybooks of Tarzan and Doctor Doolittle. In 1957, she followed her dream and traveled to the Kenyan farm of a friend’s parents where she met the famed paleoanthropologist Doctor Louis Leakey. In 1960, at his invitation, she began her landmark study of chimpanzee behavior in what is now Tanzania. Her field research at what was then called Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve led to her astounding observations that chimpanzees make and use tools, which revolutionized the world of primatology and redefined the relationship between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. 

In 1977, Jane Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to advance her vision around the world and for generations to come. JGI continues essential research at Gombe Stream Research Center and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats through community-led conservation. The organization also advances best practices in animal welfare, innovative applications of science and technology, and youth empowerment through its Roots & Shoots program, created in 1991. Roots & Shoots supports young people in all 50 United States and over 50 countries worldwide to be the change in their communities and change the world for the better, together. 

Prior to the Pandemic, Jane traveled on average 300 days per year, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, other environmental crises, and her reasons for hope. Today, Jane continues to connect with worldwide audiences, despite present challenges, through ‘Virtual Jane’ including remote lectures, recordings, and her podcast, the Jane Goodall Hopecast.

In 2021, Jane Goodall was the recipient of the Templeton Prize, and her newest book, “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times,” was published. 

Together with Marc Benioff, the founder and CEO of Salesforce, Jane is an international spokesperson for the World Economic Forum Trillion Tree Campaign launched in February 2020. She is also a leading voice on the dangers of zoonotic disease transfer and COVID-19 as a terrible manifestation of humanity’s unsustainable global systems and imbalance with the natural world. Jane Goodall’s eloquent ability to raise public awareness and understanding has become instrumental in her work to save chimpanzees and other species from extinction, as well as to influence and advance climate action and ecosystem protection.

Jane Goodall is the author of numerous books that have engaged an international readership. Jane Goodall is the subject of numerous television documentaries, as well as the 2002 film Jane Goodall’s Wild Chimpanzees, the 2010 documentary Jane’s Journey and the 2017 National Geographic documentary JANE, and following title Jane Goodall: The Hope. Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet has also produced several features on Jane Goodall. 

Jane Goodall is a global icon and the recipient of many honors, including the Medal of Tanzania, the National Geographic Society’s Hubbard Medal, Japan’s prestigious Kyoto Prize, the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Science, the UNESCO 60th Anniversary Medal, and the Gandhi/King Award for Nonviolence. In April 2002, Secretary General Kofi Annan named Jane Goodall a United Nations Messenger of Peace. In a 2004 ceremony at Buckingham Palace, she became a Dame Commander of the British Empire. In 2006, she received France’s highest recognition, the Legion of Honor. In 2021, Jane was the recipient of the esteemed Templeton Prize, and her newest book, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times, was published.

We often accept money as a fact of life. In fact, it is an institution whose design empowers some actors and shapes society.

New technologies have led to unprecedented public problems, but they also yield new opportunities.

When people think of democracy narrowly as voting — on candidates, referenda, etc. — we end up with superficial citizenship, dubious decision-making. Citizens think democracy is broken. But democracy is so much more than voting. It embraces citizen deliberation and action: rich, exploratory spaces where we share our views, listen and learn from each other, and creatively bridge our differences to co-create visions, solutions, and activities that promote broad benefit. This panel will discuss new spaces, institutions, and technologies for engaged deliberative democracy.

In a sense, the promise of network technology, and the hope of democracy, is to distribute authority. And perhaps no institution is in more obvious tension with this ambition than courts: a centralized and technocratic institution that plays a vital role in every democratic society. 

In Europe, a system of plural constitutional orders underpins the most successful political project of the last half century; yet is now encountering serious difficulty. On digital networks, efforts to democratize the judicial function have been similarly halting, from Facebook’s oversight board to web3. What is the future of jurisprudence?

A person’s data contains deep, predictive insights about other people with whom they associate, so whenever one person discloses or withholds it, countless others are affected in important ways. Indeed if anyone has absolute control over “their own” data, no one does. Democratically and mutually accountable consortia for data governance are the most promising direction for our institutions to evolve in to grapple with this fundamental issue. This panel will discuss the emerging legal, regulatory, and technological landscape that could enable these new institutions to thrive.

The Anthropocene, the age in which Human Being became a geological factor, is not an illusion or presumption – it is a fact confirmed by the science. Since human beings are shaping our Planet and the experts on the nature of people are representatives of the social sciences, it is impossible to ignore their reactions to the new era. Moreover, in many disciplines – from economics through sociology to political science – proposals for new academic teaching subjects, ideas for the creation of new political institutions, legal reflection on giving rights to the elements of nature, are growing exponentially. And as lakes, forests, rivers acquire the status of legal entities (physical person), our imagination should refer to the need to create new professions of public trust, authorized and legitimized to represent Nature and its elements in public forums, parliaments, etc.

Discussion on the basis of the book Anthropocene for Beginners. Climate, Environment, Pandemics in the Age of Man by David Juraszek.

For a long time, European politics has been a top-down affair. But in recent crises, it was the European public at large which asked for joint action — bottom-up. During the Covid-19 pandemic, calls for solidarity and help by Italian and Spanish citizens triggered far-reaching decisions, such as the joint purchase of vaccines and the massive EU recovery fund. The brutal war in Ukraine likewise strengthens a sentiment of continental belonging. Drawing on the work of John Dewey and Hannah Arendt, Luuk van Middelaar will speak about the new and unexpected interplay between the European public and its political leaders.

Stav Shaffir helped lead the Israeli social movement that brought hundreds of thousands of Israelis into the streets in 2011. At age 27, she became the youngest woman ever elected as a Member of Parliament in Israel. Now Shaffir is focused on global collaborations building the future of democracy. In her eyes, cities are at the heart of democracy and pluralism, and they are the most compelling level of society to foster democratic innovations. Hear why Shaffir sees the most likely paths to a flourishing future for democracy running through our cities.
