There is so much happening in the world that few people can keep up with - and therefore most people think that nothing is really happening.

Since August 2019, I have published the weekly newsletter #ActualNews, which conveys positive breakthroughs in technology, science and global development. The content ranges widely, but all points towards a different and better future than the reality we typically experience in the 'news'.

With this inspirational presentation, you will get a fresh overview of exciting progress from home and abroad, which most people at the event have probably overlooked.

"Denis Rivin is probably Denmark's leading expert in the field of human progress" - says Hakon Mosbech, co-founder of Zetland.

According to Denis Rivin, we are in the middle of an interesting paradox, where so much is happening in the world that few people can keep up with, which makes most people think that nothing is really happening. That the world doesn't really move.

But it does - and it goes fast. Despite unfathomable challenges, there are constantly fascinating advances in technology, science and global development that turn science fiction into science fact every week. The news portrays these advances as isolated, disjointed flashes of light that misrepresent actual world developments. 

But Denis Rivin doesn't see them that way at all.

-He sees them as a tsunami of many small streams, which in reality make up what people refer to as the Green Transition: an overlooked jumble of radical innovation, economics and mentality change that is moving the world unnoticed in ways that neither Christiansborg nor any climate summit ever can come to.

If you are looking for positive inspiration for teaching, conversation or strategy, here is a really good idea for an uplifting inspirational presentation!

"Denis Rivin er nok Danmarks førende ekspert på området for menneskehedens fremskridt" – sådan udtaler Hakon Mosbech, medstifter af Zetland.

Ifølge Denis Rivin står vi midt i et interessant paradoks, hvor der sker så meget i verden, at de færreste kan følge med, hvilket gør, at de fleste tror, at der ikke rigtig sker noget. At verden ikke rigtigt rykker sig.

Men det gør den – og det går stærkt. Til trods for uoverskuelige udfordringer forekommer der nemlig konstant fascinerende fremskridt inden for teknologi, videnskab og global udvikling, der ugentligt forvandler science fiction til science fact. Nyhederne fremstiller disse fremskridt som enkeltstående, usammenhængende lysglimt, der misrepræsenterer faktisk verdensudvikling. 

Men sådan ser Denis Rivin dem slet ikke.

-Han ser dem som en tsunami af mange bække små, der i virkeligheden udgør det, folk omtaler som Den Grønne Omstilling: Et overset virvar af radikal innovation, økonomi og mentalitetsskift, der ubemærket rykker verden på måder som hverken Christiansborg eller noget klimatopmøde nogensinde kan komme til.

Hvis du søger positiv inspiration til undervisning, samtale eller strategi, er her et rigtig godt bud på et opløftende inspirationsoplæg!

"Denis Rivin er en fremragende formidler, og jeg elsker at han finder de positive vinkler i alle historier", René Schjøtt Brogaard, områdedirektør i Jyske Bank

"TAK for de mange aha-oplevelser. Bliv ved - verden har brug for stemmer som dig", Maj Laasholdt, museumsinspektør på Nationalmuseet

Interview i Zetland

We live in a time where science fiction is transformed into science fact every week, and there is an insane amount of positive development in the world, not least in the fields of energy and climate - where the speed of development in particular is worth keeping an eye on.

There are very exciting things to talk about from recent years, for example the development within climate justice. But one of the most important trends in 2022, according to Denis Rivin, was the following: Advancing climate ambitions.

The trend is partly rooted in the political reality with an increased focus on energy independence and partly in the unstoppable technological and scientific breakthroughs that surround renewable energy. The trend should both alleviate fear of the future among people with climate anxiety - and give business leaders and politicians food for thought.

Here are 4 examples from 2022:

1) General Motors has brought forward the goal of running all US facilities on renewable energy to 2025: This is 5 years earlier than their goal from 2021 – and 25 years earlier than their goal from 2016. 2) The International Energy Agency has upgraded its own assessment of the amount of renewable energy expected to be installed in the world in the coming years by 76% – compared to the agency's assessment just two years ago. 3) The EU now expects the member states to get 63% of their electricity from renewable energy in 2030 – in 2019 the expectation was 55%. 4) Austria has advanced the phasing out of gas boilers in new buildings from 2025 to 2023.

This inspirational presentation presents some of the most interesting advances in the field of energy and climate from the past year, confirming that very good things are actually happening on the climate front. Not to lull people to sleep with good news, but to use evidence of positive transformation in the world as fuel to further accelerate development!

Have you heard of psychedelic therapy? If not, you will soon!

Mind-expanding drugs such as psilocybin, LSD, MDMA and ketamine have been illegal for 50 years – both recreationally and in research. But it is all changing rapidly.

Studies in recent years indicate that these substances have a radical potential to alleviate widespread mental disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD. And with up to 300 million depressed people in the world, action is desperately needed.

The researchers' promising results have led to unprecedented interest from the outside world, and the wave of investment and patent wars in the field clearly confirms that commercial interests also find the potential absolutely enormous.

This presentation takes a closer look at 1) the need for psychedelic therapy, 2) the promising trials that confirm the potential and 3) the key companies driving the development.
