In this conversation Laura Storm and Charlie Paton will explore Regenerative Change through Leadership and Collaboration.
This RCA x Design for Good Masterclass will discuss the ways in which we can challenge the ‘business as usual’ driving transformational change through a regenerative lens. By taking inspiration from the natural systems around us, we look at how innovative ideas, trans-disciplinary collaboration and leadership can reshape and reorganise our world into one that flourishes and thrives.

For the past twenty years, he has been developing his Seawater Greenhouse concept, designed to produce food and water on barren land, in hot and arid coastal regions. It harnesses sunlight and seawater in a unique and inspired way, to create a virtuous cycle that produces fresh food and fresh water, in locations where shortages of both are a significant problem. Charlie has designed and built projects in five locations around the world; simple and elegant it is potentially life-changing for huge numbers of people living in deprived coastal regions.
