In this week's episode rerun, host Daniel Raimi talks with Kim Stanley Robinson, acclaimed author of many books, most recently “The Ministry for the Future.” Robinson's books vividly illustrate some of the most devastating potential consequences of climate change, but that's not all they do—the books also offer innovation and optimism, imagining the ways in which we can prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change and adapt to the impacts that are unavoidable. Robinson discusses his recent visit to COP26 and his views on climate economics, modern monetary theory, space opera, and more.

The stakes in Ukraine have again been laid bare. A Russian ballistic missile hit Odesa today, killing at least eight people, with children among the seriously injured. So the news that President Biden will allow the use of powerful long-range American weapons inside Russia may feel timely, although Russia says the decision will throw "oil on the fire." Dara Massicot is a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace, and joins us from Washington.

Wiederwahl von Trump und Ampel-Break-up an einem Tag – dass die Woche vor der Klimakonferenz derart turbulent wird, konnten Gast-Host Maxi und Jule noch nicht ahnen, als sie diese Folge für euch aufgenommen haben. Glücklicherweise hat der Inhalt dieser Folge aber mehr Bestand als die Ampelregierung – versprochen! Denn es geht um die wichtigsten Themen, die auf der 29. Weltklimakonferenz in Aserbaidschan so dringend geklärt und verhandelt werden müssen. Etwa die Frage, wie viel Geld Industrieländern wie Deutschland den Entwicklungsländern ab 2025 an Klimafinanzierung zahlen werden und wie es beim vereinbarten Ziel der “Abkehr von Kohle, Gas und Öl” nun weitergeht. Außerdem sprechen die beiden über den Bergkarabach-Konflikt zwischen Aserbaidschan und Armenien und wieso Klima- und Energiefragen dabei eine große Rolle spielen. Exklusiv und passend erfahrt ihr, wie der renommierte Klimawissenschaftler und Direktor des Potsdam Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung Johan Rockström auf die Klimakonferenz blickt und wieso eine Reform des Prozesses fordert. Denn das hat er im letzten 5vor12-Klima-Briefing der 3. Staffel verraten.

In dieser Episode tauchen wir in die Erkenntnisse eines Forscherteams, das im September 2023 erstmals alle 9 planetaren Grenzen gemessen hat, die die Stabilität und Widerstandskraft der Erde regulieren. Ursprünglich im Jahr 2009 von Johan Rockström und 28 renommierten Wissenschaftlern vorgestellt, zeigen diese Grenzen, wie viel menschlicher Einfluss auf wichtige Erdprozesse zulässig ist, ohne ernsthafte Veränderungen herbeizuführen. Die 9 planetaren Grenzen definieren, wie wir auf der Erde leben können, ohne die Umwelt übermäßig zu belasten. Sie sind entscheidend für die globale Stabilität und die lebenswichtigen Funktionen unseres Planeten. Werden diese Grenzen überschritten, drohen irreversible Veränderungen. Die Einhaltung dieser Grenzen ist entscheidend, um das Erdsystem stabil zu halten und die menschliche Entwicklung zu unterstützen. Höre jetzt den ESG-Talk Podcast

(Conversation recorded on September 25th, 2024) There has been much discussion lately of Planetary Boundaries – the 9 biophysical systems and processes that regulate the functioning of life support systems on Earth, and ultimately the stability and resilience of the Earth system as a whole. But how close are we, today, to pushing these systems past their ability to function and recover? In this special release episode, Nate is joined by Kari Stoever, Chief of Strategic Partnerships & Policy at the Planetary Boundary Initiative, to explore the answer to this difficult but vital question. They delve into the Planetary Health Check, an annual analysis of Earth's nine Planetary Boundaries, exploring the science behind the metrics as well as aspirations for the project's future in guiding us back toward a safe operating space for Earth. How could a real-time assessment of the health of our planetary home help us prioritize taking care of it? What are we able to measure, and what do we still need to learn to best inform our policies and actions for the future? What would it take for each of us to act as Planetary Guardians to safeguard our planetary home before it's too late? About Kari Stoever: Kari Stoever is a seasoned social entrepreneur and strategist with extensive experience in global health, development, international relations, and planetary health. She has led pivotal global initiatives, including contributions to four U.S. Presidential programs. Her work focuses on strategy, policy advocacy, resource mobilization, and systems change, with a passion for building partnerships that drive global improvements for the common good. Currently, Kari collaborates with Johan Rockström and the Planetary Guardians on the Planetary Health Check (PHC), an innovative system that uses satellite data and AI to monitor Earth's health. As a doctorate student at Georgetown University, she is focused on studying interconnectedness and systems change in the context of the polycrisis—the systemic interrelationships among global challenges—drawing from Ubuntu philosophy, deep ecology, and evolutionary consciousness.

Are we doing enough to change the way we shop for clothes? Is the sustainable fashion movement making any progress? Find out the reality in this episode of The Enoughness. Melanie talks to Rachel Arthur, one of the most influential women in fashion you may never have heard of. Why? Rachel created the United Nations Sustainable Fashion Playbook, a guide for influencers and fashion communicators to inspire us all to buy less crap, and love and appreciate clothes more.In this episode we trash fashion headlines, dig into influencers on the shill, discuss the joy of renting Ganni, throw shade on Edward Bernays, and share why knowing all this stuff matters.Rachel also talks about the legislation that could change everything for fast fashion, why she nearly gave it all up, and how, like Goldilocks, she carefully worked out her version of “just right” and changed her life in inspirational ways.

(Conversation recorded on June 19th, 2024) Show Summary: While the mainstream conversation about our planet's future is heavily dominated by the topic of climate change, there are other systems which are just as critical to consider when thinking about the health and livability of our world. Just like climate change, each of these systems has its own limits within which humanity and the biosphere can continue to develop and thrive for generations to come. However, each also has a critical tipping point - known as a Planetary Boundary - past which Earth's systems may no longer be able to self-regulate or remain the comfortable and predictable home in which we've spent our entire history as a species. In this episode, Nate speaks with environmental scientist Johan Rockström to unpack his team's work on Planetary Boundaries and the pressure that humanity is putting on them. How do these critical systems work to regulate the stability and resilience of the biosphere, and how do we measure their health and tipping points? What are we risking as we continue on our path towards pushing each of these interdependent systems past the point where they can continue to function? Is it possible to reverse the damage that consumptive, growth-based systems have already done to our planetary home and prevent further destruction? About Johan Rockström: Johan Rockström is an internationally recognized scientist on global sustainability issues. He led the development of the Planetary Boundaries framework for human development in the current era of rapid global change. He is a leading scientist on global water resources, with more than 25 years experience in applied water research in tropical regions, and more than 150 research publications in fields ranging from applied land and water management to global sustainability. In addition to his research endeavors, which has been widely used to guide policy, Rockström is active as a consultant for several governments and business networks. He also acts as an advisor for sustainable development issues at international meetings including the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conferences (UNFCCC). Professor Rockström chairs the advisory board for the EAT Foundation and is a member of the Earth League and has been appointed as chair of the Earth Commission.

When the Paris climate pact was gaveled into existence at the COP21 UN climate summit in 2015, it was met with a standing ovation. After more than two decades of talks, 196 countries had signed on to a climate pact requiring countries to set emissions targets and report on them, with the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 or “well below” 2 degrees Celsius. Each subsequent summit hammered out the details of the historic agreement until, in Glasgow in 2021, COP26 President Alok Sharma declared the Paris “rulebook” complete. “For the first time ever, we will be able to see that when a country makes a commitment,” he said after the summit, “whether or not they have stuck to those.” Optimism soared after the Paris Agreement was established in 2015. But progress at UN climate talks since then has been incremental at best.“There's nothing more to negotiate,” said Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and longtime fixture at the climate summits. And yet, he said, “We're seeing no progress. We're actually regressing. We need to globally reduce emissions by 6-7% per year, and now, we're increasing [by] 1% per year.”Even if countries slash emissions as much as they've promised, global temperatures are expected to increase by between 2.5 and 2.9 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels by the end of the century, according to the UN Emissions Gap Report released last week. Rockström argues the system of countries setting voluntary targets and then reporting on their progress isn't working. “At least not so far,” he said. “So, there's a great and rising frustration. And the frustration is at a point of urgency.”Faith in the ability of the UN process to deliver meaningful results on climate change has waxed and waned over the years. And this year, it's at a low point. Rockström and others have called for a rethinking of the COP meetings, shifting them from what he sees as a showcasing of best intentions to an exercise in accountability. Rachel Kyte, a former World Bank climate envoy and dean emeritus of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, argues the Paris Agreement is working, just not nearly fast enough.“Governments have dropped the ball in many cases, or have struggled to pick up the ball, for countries with less capacity, since Paris,” she said. The COP28 president himself has said the world is “way off track” and needs a “major course correction.”But there's added skepticism that this climate summit, in particular, can deliver meaningful results, in part because of who that COP28 president is: Sultan al-Jaber, the head of the United Arab Emirates' state-owned oil company. He argues that oil and gas companies need to be part of the solution and at the table during climate talks. “This is a global challenge that calls for global solutions from every stakeholder,” Jaber said at an industry conference in May. “And this industry, in particular, is integral to developing the solutions.”But critics have called his dual postings a conflict of interest. Environmental leaders have criticized his appointment, and more than 100 lawmakers in the US and EU called for his removal in May. This week, leaked documents and reports published by the Centre for Climate Reporting show that Jaber was prepared to lobby for oil and gas deals in official COP28 meetings. “I think these documents show that the United Arab Emirates is not playing a neutral, impartial role in the COP process, which is its job,” said Michael Jacobs, professor of political economy at the University of Sheffield and former climate adviser to the UK government. One of the big debates set to happen at COP28 is whether to phase out fossil fuels. “So, it's really not appropriate for [the UAE], in the very same meetings that it is discussing the negotiations, which are aimed at phasing out fossil fuels, to be frankly trying to phase them up.” Jacobs said to get nearly 200 countries with widely divergent interests to agree to anything, COP presidents must be seen as advocating for the whole world's best interests, not just the host country's. “And it will be very difficult, I think, for many countries to trust the UAE if it's been doing this, if it's basically been promoting its own interests through this process.” In response to questions from The World, a COP28 spokesperson wrote that the documents are “inaccurate” and “not used by COP28 in meetings.” They did not respond to questions about whether oil and gas business was discussed in meetings set up for Jaber in his capacity as COP28 president. Even with the controversy dogging this COP, there are some bright spots heading into the UN summit in Dubai.The US and China are talking about climate change again, and this month agreed to work together on increasing renewables and decreasing methane, the potent greenhouse gas. “It's not yet real change, but it is, I think, a clear signal that both countries recognize that China and the US have to work together, or else, we will fail to achieve anything at COP that's worth talking about,” said Gina McCarthy, a former US national climate adviser.Meanwhile, former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres has warned of the “self-fulfilling prophesy” of despair and has been cheered by recent economic indicators. “The cost of renewable energy has plummeted, meaning at this COP, countries can readily commit to tripling renewable energy by 2030,” Figueres said. That's on the table at COP28, along with a likely contentious debate about phasing down or out fossil fuels. Another key outcome to look for at the summit is how much money richer countries commit to a newly established loss and damage fund to help poorer nations deal with the devastation already being caused by climate change.

And the frustration is at a point of urgency.”Faith in the ability of the UN process to deliver meaningful results on climate change has waxed and waned over the years. And this year, it's at a low point. Rockström and others have called for a rethinking of the COP meetings, shifting them from what he sees as a showcasing of best intentions to an exercise in accountability. Rachel Kyte, a former World Bank climate envoy and dean emeritus of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, argues the Paris Agreement is working, just not nearly fast enough.“Governments have dropped the ball in many cases, or have struggled to pick up the ball, for countries with less capacity, since Paris,” she said. The COP28 president himself has said the world is “way off track” and needs a “major course correction.”But there's added skepticism that this climate summit, in particular, can deliver meaningful results, in part because of who that COP28 president is: Sultan al-Jaber, the head of the United Arab Emirates' state-owned oil company. He argues that oil and gas companies need to be part of the solution and at the table during climate talks. “This is a global challenge that calls for global solutions from every stakeholder,” Jaber said at an industry conference in May. “And this industry, in particular, is integral to developing the solutions.”But critics have called his dual postings a conflict of interest. Environmental leaders have criticized his appointment, and more than 100 lawmakers in the US and EU called for his removal in May. This week, leaked documents and reports published by the Centre for Climate Reporting show that Jaber was prepared to lobby for oil and gas deals in official COP28 meetings. “I think these documents show that the United Arab Emirates is not playing a neutral, impartial role in the COP process, which is its job,” said Michael Jacobs, professor of political economy at the University of Sheffield and former climate adviser to the UK government. One of the big debates set to happen at COP28 is whether to phase out fossil fuels. “So, it's really not appropriate for [the UAE], in the very same meetings that it is discussing the negotiations, which are aimed at phasing out fossil fuels, to be frankly trying to phase them up.” Jacobs said to get nearly 200 countries with widely divergent interests to agree to anything, COP presidents must be seen as advocating for the whole world's best interests, not just the host country's. “And it will be very difficult, I think, for many countries to trust the UAE if it's been doing this, if it's basically been promoting its own interests through this process.” In response to questions from The World, a COP28 spokesperson wrote that the documents are “inaccurate” and “not used by COP28 in meetings.” They did not respond to questions about whether oil and gas business was discussed in meetings set up for Jaber in his capacity as COP28 president. Even with the controversy dogging this COP, there are some bright spots heading into the UN summit in Dubai.The US and China are talking about climate change again, and this month agreed to work together on increasing renewables and decreasing methane, the potent greenhouse gas. “It's not yet real change, but it is, I think, a clear signal that both countries recognize that China and the US have to work together, or else, we will fail to achieve anything at COP that's worth talking about,” said Gina McCarthy, a former US national climate adviser.Meanwhile, former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres has warned of the “self-fulfilling prophesy” of despair and has been cheered by recent economic indicators. “The cost of renewable energy has plummeted, meaning at this COP, countries can readily commit to tripling renewable energy by 2030,” Figueres said. That's on the table at COP28, along with a likely contentious debate about phasing down or out fossil fuels. Another key outcome to look for at the summit is how much money richer countries commit to a newly established loss and damage fund to help poorer nations deal with the devastation already being caused by climate change.
In a world where 1 litre of urine is as effective as 7 litres of fuel to meet our energy needs, how is it that 2 billion people remain without access to electricity and 80% of our energy source is fossil fuel-based? Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu is my guest on this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast, he is a researcher and the CEO of Lumos Laboratories, Nigeria. He believes that cleaner energy alternatives can power our world. One of his six patent/registered innovations is the generation of hydrogen-ammonia-rich flammable gases from human and animal urine. After listening to this episode of the podcast, you will agree with the likes of Al Gore, Johan Rockström, and Antonio Guterres that we have the solutions, we have the technologies to address climate change what we need is: - Invest in resources to scale - Rally the political will, and - Build a collective drive to move faster in the same direction.

As the global economy grapples with escalating environmental decline, the imperative to protect our natural world is climbing the agenda for both governments and businesses. In this episode, hosts Lizzie and Ayesha discuss the crucial interactions between nature and business with acclaimed global climate scientist Johan Rockström and PwC's Daniel O'Brien. Together, they explore the intrinsic and quantifiable importance of nature, offering actions for organizations not only to become nature positive and reverse nature loss, but to foster resilience and create value amid intensifying environmental challenges.
Det går att slå fast tydliga gränser för hur mycket miljöpåverkan av olika slag som livet på jorden tål, och att sedan konstatera att vi redan står på fel sida av dom flesta av dom här så kallade planetära gränserna. Det menar forskare i en ny rapport i veckan. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är Johan Rockström och hans kolleger som har lanserat begreppet ”planetära gränser” eller ”planetary boundaries” som det heter på engelska. Det skedde 2009, och nu publicerar de en ny studie som visar att sex av de nio gränserna är passerade. Men det går att ta ett steg tillbaka över gränsen, som skedde i fråga om ozonlagret på 1990-talet. Hur fungerar dessa gränser, vilken nytta kan de göra och vad finns det för invändningar mot idén med de planetära gränserna?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Longtermism and alternative proteins, published by BruceF on June 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I spoke at EA Global London 2023 about longtermism and alternative proteins. Here's the basic argument: 1) Meat production is a significant contributor to climate change, other environmental harms (pretty much all of them), food insecurity, antibiotic resistance, and pandemic risk - causing significant and immediate harm to billions of people. 2) All of these harms are likely to double in adverse impact (or more) by 2050 unless alternative proteins succeed. 3) Their X risk level is sufficiently high (Ord chart) that they warrant attention from longtermists. Especially for longtermists in policy or philanthropy, adding alt proteins to the portfolio impactful and tractable interventions that you support can allow you to do even more good in the world (a lot of it fairly immediate). In the talk, I cite this report from the Center for Strategic & International Studies' director of global food security & director of climate and energy, as well as a report from ClimateWorks Foundation & the Global Methane Hub (1-pager w/r/t the points I made in the talk here). Below are the recording and transcript - comments welcomed. Here's a link to the slides from this talk. Introduction The observation is that we have been making meat in the same way for 12,000 years. Food is a technology. Making meat is a technology. The way we do it now is extraordinarily inefficient and comes with significant external costs that do indeed jeopardize our long-term future. This is Johan Rockström after the EAT-Lancet Commission called on the world to eat 90 percent less meat back in 2018 and 2019. He said, "Humanity now poses a threat to the stability of the planet. This requires nothing less than a new global agricultural revolution." That's what I'm going to be talking about, and I'm going to situate it in terms of effective altruism. There are five parts to the talk. The first one is that meat production has risen inexorably for many decades, and there is no sign of that growth slowing. The second is that our only strategy for changing this trajectory is support for alternative proteins - there's not a tractable plan B. The third point is that alternative proteins address multiple risks to long-term flourishing and they should be a priority for longtermists. I'm not going to try to convince you. They should be the priority - they're on par with AI risk or bioengineered pandemics. But I am going to try to convince you that, unless you are working for an organization that is focused on one thing, you should add alternative proteins to your portfolio if you are focused on longtermism. Fourth, I want to give you a sense of how GFI thinks about prioritization so that what we're doing as we expand is the highest marginal possible impact. Then we'll have some time for a discussion which Sim will lead us through. Meat Production has risen by 300% since 1961. The first observation is that, since 1961, global meat production has risen 300 percent. In China, it has skyrocketed by 1,500 percent. It's 15 times up since 1961, and meat production and consumption is going to continue to rise through 2050. There have been 11 peer-review articles looking at what meat production and consumption are going to look like in 2050. The lowest production is 61 percent more. One of the predictions is 3.4 times as much, so 340 percent more. Most of the predictions hover at about double. Most of that growth is not in developed economies. Developed economies have leveled off. They're going up a little bit. Most of that growth is in developing economies and in Asia. The world doesn't have tractable solutions to this. Bill Gates when he released How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, on his book tour was talking about how the cl...
Join us as we revisit our conversation with Johan Rockström, renowned earth scientist and Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. A year ago, he shed light on the gravity of our situation, stating that "for the first time in human history, we face a planetary emergency." Astonishingly, this remains an urgent reality even today. Recently, an article titled "Safe and just Earth system boundaries" was published in Nature on May 31, providing further insights. For the first time, scientists have meticulously evaluated and quantified not only the boundaries within which humanity can safely operate, but also those that ensure fairness and justice for all. In an era where scientists often present their findings in a measured and objective manner, Rockström's assertion that "Human pressures on earth have reached dangerously high levels" carries immense weight and demands our attention. Tune in to our podcast episode and listen to the thought-provoking perspectives of Johan Rockström, as we delve deeper into the critical issues surrounding the survival of our species. Are you listening? If so, what do you think? And, more importantly, what are you going to do? This podcast was first published on June 23, 2022.

I veckans avsnitt av ”Så in i Själen” har jag bjudit in Mattias Klum. Mattias är en världskänd och erkänd svensk naturfotograf, naturfilmare och författare. Mattias har sedan 1986 arbetat som frilansfotograf på heltid, med specialisering på natur, miljö och kultur över hela världen.År 1997 publicerades hans bilder för första gången i National Geographic, där han sedan blev den förste svensken att få en av sina bilder på omslaget. Sedan dess har han haft många artiklar i tidningen och tretton omslagsbilder. Hans fotografier har visats i enmansutställningar i museer och konstgallerier över hela världen. Klum har även producerat längre natur-dokumentärfilmer: Och skrivit ett antal böcker. Bland annat Vår tid på jorden: välfärd inom planetens hållbara gränser tillsammans med professor Johan Rockström, och med förord av Bill Clinton. Under hösten 2013 gav Klum ut en bok med titeln Världar av liv och 2015 släpptes ännu en bok tillsammans med Rockström med titeln Big World Small Planet.Mattias fångar natursjälen på bild och film skulle man kunna säga. I allt levade finns själ. Så ser jag det. Och jag älskar naturen. Jag är ute i naturen dagligen och den ger mig kraft, energi och själslig vård. Så i det här samtalet med Mattias Klum så kommer det att handla om just det – Natursjälen och hans upplevelse av att leva i den, fånga den på bild och känslan av vad som händer med vår planeten nu!

Today we need about 1.7 Earths to provide the natural resources for our consumption. If we continue to consume at the rate we have, we will need 2 earths by 2030. So how do we stay within the boundaries of what our planet can take? And how are young change makers leading the way?In this episode, Gail Gallie and Loyiso Madinga look at Global Goal 12 and ask what it means to consume “responsibly”. They speak with Johan Rockström, one of the foremost experts on sustainable consumption and production systems and renowned for his groundbreaking ‘planetary boundaries' framework. They are also joined by change maker Melati Wijsen who aged 12, together with her sister, successfully banned plastic bags in their home country Bali. Today, after a decade of campaigning, she aims to connect younger generations and provide them with the tools to make a lasting impact. Guests:Johan Rockstrom, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Professor in Earth System Science at the University of Potsdam.Melati Wijsen, full time changemaker, movement builder and founder of Bye Bye Plastic Bags and YOUTHOPIAFor more:https://www.globalgoals.org Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. In this episode, co-hosts Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson interview climate leaders Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President of global issues think tank the Club of Rome (the Club), and Johan Rockström, Joint Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (Potsdam). Our esteemed guests discuss the 50th anniversary of the Club's groundbreaking report on the implications of continued worldwide expansion, “Limits to Growth” (Limits), and their recently published collaborative report “Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity (Earth For All).” Serving as both a sort of update to “Limits,” and a new solutions manual, “Earth For All” goes deep into the interrelationships between global stress points, the consequential scenarios that could lay ahead of us, and the policy recommendations we need to save our future. It's a fascinating conversation that covers planetary boundary science, dynamic systems modeling, the social tension index, and whether we can reach aspirational and equitable goals for humanity within our environmental boundaries. Importantly, we explore whether a planetary solution is possible without addressing systemic inequity. Of course, be sure to stick around for music this week from brand new father/son duo Emrys + Clay. Don't miss a minute of this compelling episode!

Hi Plant Friends and welcome to another episode of the PBN Podcast. This week we meet Professor Rock Rockström. Professor Johan Rockström is one of the most influential Earth scientists who is amongst the most cited researchers in the world. As director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, he advises governments, corporations and activists, about the latest research on the climate and biodiversity and strives for better science communication. A collaboration with natural historian and broadcaster David Attenborough saw him create a 2021 Netflix series, Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet. He also participated in President Joe Biden's climate summit. In 2020, Professor Rockström co-edited Standing Up for a Sustainable World, a book that gathers the voices of leading academics as well as climate change and environmental activists, entrepreneurs and investors. It highlights the urgent action that needs to be taken to foster sustainable, resilient and inclusive development in the face of powerful systemic forces. Other books include The Human Quest and Big World Small Planet: both produced with National Geographic photographer, Mattias Klum.
