• How TomorrowToday balances our team’s Carbon Footprint.
Did you know there are only 36 places on Earth that are critical for our survival? These biodiversity hotspots, which cover just 2.5% of the planet, contribute a whopping 35% of essential ecosystem services like climate regulation.
The Kariega Foundation does vital work in conserving one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world, via the unique approach of building “conservation through community”.
TomorrowToday has recently partnered with the Kariega Foundation, as part of our commitment to giving back 1% for the Planet, and we’re excited to partner with organisations pioneering innovative and sustainable solutions that address the seven grey elephants.

• What’s the most important question we’re facing today? From Yuval Noah Harari.
In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power. Censorship works not by blocking the flow of information, but rather by flooding people with disinformation and distractions. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century cuts through these muddy waters and confronts some of the most urgent questions on today’s global agenda. As we mentioned in Episode 4 of The TomorrowToday Podcast, being able to anticipate and adapt to disruptive forces of change requires us to pay attention. Watch this video by Yuval Noah Harari here.
Harari’s book provides some clarity on these disruptive trends and empowers readers to join the debate about the future of our species. This is a highly recommended read.
