Please join us to hear from Owen Gaffney, a global sustainability analyst, writer, and head of media at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. This talk will be a wake-up call, a call to action, and an antidote to despair! There is no charge for this online event but you must register in advance: Our speaker will discuss “the state of the planet’s health” from a scientific point of view. We will gain an understanding of where humans have and have not exceeded the capacity of the planet to support life, as illustrated in the book "Breaking Boundaries" which Owen co-authored with Johan Rockstrom. This book surveys the latest thinking in planetary science as published in the peer-reviewed Nature and Science magazines. We will also learn about Owen’s latest book, "Earth for All", which will be published on September 19th. A collaboration with five other authors, it uses a unique analysis to answer the question, “What is required for all of humanity to have a good life within planetary boundaries”? Owen will take us through the five extraordinary turnarounds needed to achieve this goal. There will be time for questions from the audience.
