In 2024, let’s save the planet. “Save the planet”? If the Earth heard that, it would burst out laughing. As P. Brannen explains in this video, our planet has already suffered many cataclysmic events in the past, leading to radical life destruction like the “big 5 mass extinctions”. Life always recovered spectacularly after each of these events, so from planet perspective, no need that humans save anything 😄 What did not recover each time are the extinct species, that disappeared forever. A new life story starts every time, with a different, specific configuration. Today, the global science community warns that we are in the 6th mass extinction (https://lnkd.in/dp3_Avrh). Both the direct and indirect consequences of human activity are degrading increasingly the life and the specific conditions needed for the current forms of life, including us. If we eventually manage to put an end to our current environment, and therefore to ourselves, the Earth will only take a few million years to replace us by something else. Business as usual 😄 So, “save the planet”? Well, what we want to save are the particular conditions that keep us alive, from current planet temperature, cycles, etc. to its interconnected life networks.

What is happening to our home now is the result of our indifference and inaction. There is a way out of any situation, even seemingly insoluble ones. ⚠️ You can watch the uncensored Forum "Global Crisis.

Nature is not created by thought.

What does a decade of transition mean in this world? "This is not a minor transformation. This is a transformation of how we relate to the world. Climate change is a symptom of structural failure. A failure in our relationship with the planet." I was introduced to Indy Johar's work during last week's Inner Development Goals Conference, and his presentation left a lasting impact on me. He boldly encouraged us to question our humanity's essence, invited us to embrace the darkness to find the light, and advocated for a shift from a static, noun-based world to a dynamic, verb-based world where we can reimagine a better future for all. This concept aligns closely with the idea of LOVE: Living Organizations Valuing Existence, as you may recall from my previous posts. Irrespective of the terminology used, the invitation remains the same. In this era of planetary transformation, survival and prosperity depend on our ability to transform human consciousness, recognize the interconnectedness of our existence, and create more love and beauty from our wholeness. 🎬 Indy's IDG conference talk is not yet available to the public, but here is a short clip from another talk where he shared the same messages: https://lnkd.in/dfVkXaYF Reminder: This Friday, Ethan Tan and I will delve deeper into this topic: "Creating From Wholeness."

DIVINE FLIGHT: CONFRONTING THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE Climate change is a test of our faith and values. It challenges us to act with the urgency and conviction of a pilot in the face of adversity. Let our faith be the wings that lift us, the force that drives us to soar above the challenges, and the spirit that guides us toward a harmonious coexistence with the creation we hold dear. Together, let us embark on this inspirational flight, charting a course toward a future where the skies are clear, the waters are pure, and the Earth thrives once more. In this mission, there is no autopilot; it is up to each and every one of us to take control and ensure a safe landing for generations to come – a legacy of our stewardship that testifies to the power of faith in action. ——————————————— Glenn Banaguas Stanley Ng Environmental and Climate Change Research Institute (ECCRI) Harvard Kennedy School The Manila Times ( Michael Ang , Dante Ang , Blanca Mercado , Dafort Villaseran ) #faith #science #values #ClimateAction #leadership #management #innovation #technology #resiliency #sustainability #creativity #harvard #harvardveritas #climate #science #climatechange

We're living in the Anthropocene and human actions are pushing Earth beyond its limits. Prof. Dr. Johan Rockström's message on planetary boundaries is a stark reminder of the environmental challenges we face. We're nearing tipping points for several planetary boundaries, environmental limits critical for a stable Earth. Climate Change, Biodiversity Loss, and Land System Change are just a few examples that we're already beginning to cross. Rising global temperatures are disrupting weather patterns, species are disappearing at an alarming rate, and deforestation and unsustainable land-use practices are degrading ecosystems. The good news? We can still act. The Paris Agreement and COP 15 agreements offer frameworks for a sustainable future. Rockström's ideas are a wake-up call for all of us. The tipping points aren't reversible once we cross them. It's all system dynamics that we humans still have the ability to alter but the window is closing fast. #climatechange #sustainability #environment #anthropocene #planetaryboundaries https://lnkd.in/eRQC_WKq

What are ‘planetary boundaries’ and why should we care?

CLIMATE CHANGE FACETS: REFURBISHING/ RESETING ANTHROPOCENTRISM FOR OUR AND THE NATURAL WORLD SURVIVAL. Looking honestly and unbiasedly around, without the usual human self-centrism or business-as-usual mindset, one easily realizes that we destroyed and overused almost everything in Nature. The current rapidly up-trending #climatecrises daily destroying infrastructure and killing people (and wildlife) are showing us that human civilization reached a plateau ("the world is sending us a message"...#UniyedNations 's chief #AntonioGutettes ) It's high time for us to take a deep breath and earnestly re-evaluate our existence and role in the Planet, our Mother Earth, and take the necessary bold measures to change and re-harmonize with our natural environment. It is no longer a matter of choice but of survival of our civilization. Despite all the fast technological developments (AI included) and the quadrillion-dollar financial markets (including all derivatives) the trending road now is downwards. We still have some time left but the "gates of reality" are closing on us fast Just think, how many times lately you have stopped to observe the full moon, the stars, the sunset, the waves breaking and birds freely perching?
