CHANGE: Envisioning Malta’s Four Climate Futures

What if you could step 30 years into the future and envision life in Malta – would we be thriving, struggling, or on the brink of collapse?

Inspired by the global EY Four Futures – brought to Malta for the first time at the Future Realised conference last October 2024 – CHANGE promises to be an eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through four distinct Climate Futures, each shaped by the choices we make today.

Through powerful visuals, real stories, and expert insights, we will explore Malta’s Four Futures, a science-led experience inspired by the work of Futurist Jim Dator. The original, launched by EY for the first time at COP28, has now been tailored for Malta’s specific circumstances, and will be explored on the day.

Hear from local voices, see how climate change is already shaping Malta, and discover what these futures could mean for you, your business, and your community. The event looks beyond current regulatory discourse, and asks us to consider if our actions today will deliver a Future we’re willing to live in.

Are you ready to explore the future – and will you help shape it?

Join us for this event and be part of the conversation that Malta can’t afford to ignore.
