Keynoter of the European Ecovillage Conference 2018 "The Wisdom of Conscious Communities", Albert Bates is an environmental rights lawyer, author, teacher and permaculture master. He has taught appropriate technology, natural building, permaculture and inspired students from more than 60 nations.

In the interview, he's talking how to design our communities antifragile (a term coined by Nassim Taleb) - to thrive even through crises or environmental hazards. He is also sharing how to take carbon out of the atmosphere and cool the planet using permaculture principles.
