So excited to hear one of our Franklin School students has been accepted into the Villars Eco-Preneurship program after listening to this call for collaboration with the business sector that is so often pitched as the opposition in the battle to stay within planetary boundaries. The final piece of key advice from Cameron Hepburn was to see your opposition as potential collaborators by being curious about their ‘why’ and if you dig down deep enough into their ‘why’ you just might find the common ground from which you can build consensus and a shared vision and mission.
🌿Recap of our plenary session: The Economics of Thriving Within Planetary Boundaries🌎💰 How do we prosper within planetary boundaries? This was the question discussed in a lively panel session which featured leading educators, experts and an ecologist on how to redesign economies to work both for our natural ecosystem services and future financial growth. 🎯There is an urgent need for transformative change to address interconnected environmental crises and changing the economic model is imperative. 🎯The current economic system is flawed and needs to prioritize sustainability, equity and justice. 🎯A new economic framework is needed - one that values natural capital. 🎯Prosperous economies should not only be measured by economic growth but also in terms of contribution to society and the environment. Introduced by Cameron Hepburn, Battcock Professor of Environmental Economics, University of Oxford With Jane Madgwick, Executive Director, Global Commons Alliance Marco Lambertini, Convener, Nature Positive Initiative Michael Schaepman, President, University of Zurich Moderator Dan Esty, Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law & Policy, Yale School of the Environment and Yale Law School #EnvironmentalEconomics #SustainableFinance #PlanetaryBoundaries

While the saying goes that “a season in sports is a marathon, not a sprint,” the Franklin Tigers Track and Field Team lept, heaved, and sprinted through an action-packed Spring Season. As they maintained this kinetic pace, many of our Tigers also reached new heights as athletes and achieved personal records — all while competing against a gauntlet of track and field athletes from around New Jersey.

Represented my age group (unspecified) in the first Intergenerational Workshop at the The Villars Institute symposium today hearing about Understanding How Geospatial Technologies Protect Our Planet. Alana Belcon Marija Uzunova Dang Walter Jetz, Shubo Biswas were amazing. All this data and one simple question “what should we do with it?”
