The Future Of Work, Parenting And What To Bring To Mars

CarbonSessions

Episode Summary: In this episode, Karena shares with Jenn her insights on the future of work and how to talk to parents about climate change

Karena’s vocation as a Futurist started when she was trying to understand the future career path of her own kids.

Being ‘a span of seven generations’ and from the technical and societal changes she has witnessed in her own career, she shared some perspectives about what education and career choices mean in our increasingly uncertain world.

Among various topics, Karena and Jenn discuss how climate change will play out in the equation, the 17 UN SDGs, and what skills do we need to bring to Mars.
