Where is the planet headed?
Will we be able to face the climate crisis?
How can we open paths toward development that truly transforms?
The Next Question was born in 2025 to educate audiences, connect agents, and offer global perspectives, from Brazil to the world, toward a future shaped by climate.
The climate conversation can no longer remain confined to a few.
That’s why The Next Question works to bring the debate beyond its usual circles, making it more accessible, engaging, and relevant, without diluting its complexity.
“Reality responds in the language in which it is questioned.”
— Boaventura de Sousa Santos
