Not only do we have a climate crisis, we are in a planetary emergency. Emergencies are when you have unacceptable risks and running out of time.
We have to be clear, we have to challenge the world to understand that we are in charge today sitting in the cockpit of planet Earth, putting the entire stability of the planet at risk in this generation. What happens over the next 10 to 20 years will determine the outcome for the next hundreds of years. That is the reality and we have the responsibility to solve this.
We have to stop expanding our land use into intact nature.
The narrative of sustainability is that if you apply your scientific understanding, if you apply planetary boundary thinking, what emerges is new innovations, new technologies, new advancements, a more attractive future that also has well-documented outcomes when it comes to health, peace, security, jobs and economy.
The world 2.0.
What is it that gives us real happiness? What is it that I want to give to my children?
Ultimate definition of justice is every human being’s right to be born on a livable planet.
