Johan Rockström – planetary boundaries
“Professor Johan Rockström led the team of scientists who worked out the planetary boundaries framework – nine environmental lines we cannot safely cross if human life is to be sustainable on Earth.”
He won the Hillary Award, and is from the Stockholm Resilience Centre
That must be quite a place! It seems another speaker on Kim Hill recently is also connected with the place:
Will Steffen – the beginner’s guide to the Anthropocene
“He says scientists were “staggered” to discover this acceleration was not related to population growth, but to consumption by the world’s wealthiest countries.”
What a great interview. Cuba avoids its carbon production by investing in health and education!
Linking here as I want to listen again.
