Rupert Read

Rupert Read is co-director of the Climate Majority Project and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, UK. He is the author of several books, developed the concept of Transformative Adaptation and also invented the term ‘Thrutopia’; an act of imagining the actual mechanics of how we transition from this broken, collapsing world to one that is in a process of transformation and healing on all levels. Since then he has been building Thrutopianism into his creative and scenarios work, including his viral internet short Out of the Ashes. Rupert Read resides in Rockland St Mary, Norfolk, England.
