Ultimately, I found Earth for All rather hopeful. “The model can easily generate more doom-and-gloom scenarios if anyone feels the need for it,” the authors point out. “The Earth for All team did not.” Instead, it’s an exercise in tapping the collective wisdom of experts, applying a systems thinking approach, and seeing what might work. “We are not presenting an exhaustive list of solutions,” they say. But these are “some of the ideas, in our opinion, that could have the most leverage in the shortest time. We hope they spark debate. And we invite better ideas!”

Five system-shifting steps that can upend poverty and inequality, lift up marginalized people, and transform our food and energy systems by 2050 The report’s authors argue that achieving well-being for all on a (relatively) stable planet is still possible, but will require major changes in economic organization. In particular, it calls for five major initiatives to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality, empower women, transform food systems, and overhaul energy systems by “electrifying everything.”Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity(September 2022), is a unique book. For the first time, it presents the results of a remarkable two-year broad-minded research collaboration, Earth4All.

Finance experts Frank van Gansbeke and James Vaccaro will then complement this need for a new economic architecture with deep shifts in our current Bretton Woods institutions and financial framework that underpins an economy and financial system that services people, planet and prosperity first and foremost. Nobel Prize Teacher Summit: Creating a movement of minds, hearts and souls to upgrade our economies Sandrine Dixson-Declève is co-president of the Club of Rome and has over 30 years of leadership in climate change, sustainability, innovation and energy. GreenBiz named her one of the 30 most influential women driving change in the low-carbon economy. She is a policy advisor, facilitator, TED speaker, teacher, and author of Quel Monde Pour Demain?Earth for All conclusively shows that humanity's future on a livable planet depends on drastically reducing socio-economic inequality and a more equitable distribution of wealth and power. Essential reading on our long journey toward an "Earth for All" society." Authors of Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity will join representatives from the business and finance communities to discuss the findings of the book, and the investment actions to be taken to facilitate the five extraordinary turnarounds and transform our economies and societies, while reducing the impact on nature and our planet. One year on Earth lasts 365.25 days. That 0.25 extra means every four years we need to add one day to our calendar. We call it a leap day (in a leap year). As part of the Ars Electronica Festival, the Austrian Chapter of the Club of Rome are organising an event to present Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity –a new report to the Club of Rome.

Our atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen for us to breathe. The atmosphere also protects us from incoming meteoroids, most of which break up in our atmosphere before they can strike the surface as meteorites. The second scenario, The Giant Leap is achievable if societies adopt unprecedented and immediate action across five interconnected turnarounds:

This meeting is a ‘call to action’ to form an alliance to improve warnings of the proximity of catastrophic climate tipping points and to accelerate positive tipping points to avert the climate crisis. The programme will cover the latest developments in both negative and positive tipping points, at scales from local to global, and from theory to practice. Partners include PIK- Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Exeter University. Forsaken Futures So, Earth for All is not just a report: it is a call to action. Because the necessary changes are so big, they require determined social movements with broad participation. History shows that inertia and defeatism can become self-fulfilling. But it also shows that governments ultimately must respond to popular pressure—or be replaced by it. Earth for All is both an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future. Using powerful state-of-the-art computer modelling to explore policies likely to deliver the most good for the majority of people, a leading group of scientists and economists from around the world present five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits in a single generation. Coverage includes: To accelerate change, governments should upgrade our economic system and redefine what really matters in economic policies: wellbeing. We outline 3 further system change levers that would transform our societies for the better.
