2045: The Big Conversation: The Movie

Join SEDA in person or online for the premier screening of 2045: The Big Conversation: The Movie, followed by a discussion.

Date and time: to

Location: Falkland Estate, Falkland, Fife

Organisation: THE SCOTTISH ECOLOGICAL DESIGN ASSOCIATION

Two years ago the Scottish Government funded SEDA to bring together people from across the built environment sector to discuss the challenge of climate change.

The biggest threat to Scotland’s future is climate change. Scots are already losing their jobs, homes and lives. Nature is pushed towards extinction.  Greenhouse gasses are still increasing. 40% of Scotland’s emissions come from the built environment.

183 people from 110 organisations in government, industry and civil society met for 5 days in Stirling to discuss how to turn the sector around.

Scottish Ecological Design Association (SEDA) has taken 5 days of evidence and debate and condensed the very best bits into a 1 hour movie. It’s a powerful picture – scared, confused, disempowered, but also creative, collective and committed. SEDA heard from people flooded out their homes and struggling with fuel poverty, global finance desperate in invest, innovative start-ups looking for a market, architects desperate for carbon regulation, and government officials from Scotland and Denmark look in the mirror.

Join SEDA on Saturday 19th September for the movie premiere at the 2026 SEDA Conference in person in Fife or online. SEDA will show the film and then host Q&A with a panel of four key participants in the Big Conversation:

Chris Stewart is a senior Architect & Past President of RIAS, with a passion for the transformative potential of architecture for social justice.

Rachel Nunn is elected member of Stirling Council with a keen interest in the role of carbon literacy as the basis of strategic decision-making.

Nick Ribbons leads Zero Waste Scotland’s delivery of the circular economy in the construction sector.

Natasha Houchin is an Associate at LMA Architects, one of the Directors at SEDA, and an advocator of sustainable design. She has a lasting passion for sustainable architecture and extensive experience in conservation.
