"This is not a climate emergency. It is a planetary emergency," says climate impact scholar Johan Rockström In his 2020 TED Talk, he urged us to drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2030 to prevent irreversible tipping points that would make the planet uninhabitable for millions of us. Next week, at the Bloomberg Green Festival, Rockström will give an updated #TEDTalk to this urgent call-to-action — and you're invited to attend in-person or virtually! Plus, hear important climate ideas from Akshat Rathi, Deb Chachra, Gaya Herrington, Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, Nathaniel Stinnett, Aline Sousa and Courtney Marie Andrews.

The TED talk exert below explains the planetory crisis we are currently seeing unfold in a very clear way. The challenges and opportunities that lay ahead for our new government are going to require real ambition and collaboration. It is a time to rapidly scale up innovation across all sectors and get our economy growing. Governments don’t however drive growth on their own, they need to create the policy landscape that enables innovative businesses to scale up. Our Gusto Group business is ready for combining growth with innovation to become net zero. It won’t be easy, but as you can see from the Ted talk below, the alternative is to have a planet which is no longer able to sustain human life, and that isn’t a legacy most parents want to leave for the next generation to inherit. 🌍😎

Answering questions like 'how do you stay optimistic', Prince William sits down with Winner of The Earthshot Prize 2021, Vaitea Cowan from Enapter to talk about the climate, solutions, optimism and our new 2023 Finalists. -- Over the last ten years, the evidence that we face urgent challenges to protect the environment has become indisputable, and it’s clear that the time to act is now. Drawing inspiration from the concept of moonshots, which since the moon landing in 1969 has become shorthand to talk about the most ambitious and ground-breaking goals, Prince William announced The Earthshot Prize: an ambitious set of challenges to inspire a decade of action to repair the planet. We believe in the power of human ingenuity to prove to us all that the seemingly impossible is possible.

From Gloria Walton of The Solutions Project: This mindset-approach for possibility and solutions is excellent and so necessary in just about every space...
President & Chief Executive Officer at The Solutions Project
Last month, I spoke at The Great Northern Festival’s Climate Solutions series, where I talked about what it means to be a Solutionary. This term was coined by the late Grace Lee Boggs, who said, “Solutionaries are today’s revolutionaries.” As solutionaries, we have to give ourselves permission to dream beyond the confines of existing systems and envision better ways of relating to one another. Transformational change requires shifting away from the doom and gloom climate stories and thinking of solutions that embody the joy of possibility.

CLIMATE CRISIS & WEAK PLANET We have a climate crisis and a weak planet. This is not a very good place to be in. So we really need rapid action. We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk. CNN interview with PIK Director Johan Roekström.

Growing to Harmony -OR- Growing to Tragedy ... A choice to make …
3wTED Countdown , Maya Harrington; Johan Robinson, despite your excellent earth macro-system analyis, our problem is really with how and why our planetary systems are changing, not the dire conditions, but why whole earth destabilizing conditiondps are multiplying. We’re at the point of pushing all earth systems that work as wholes past the limits of their resilience, causing their malfunctions to accelerate in inverse proportion to the remaining distance of the system from wider and wider collapse. Almost the first thing we all learn as a child is not to push things you need to the point they misbehave. What we really need for civilization’s survival now though, is: - how in the world did our leading culture unlearn that critical lesson of life, - why does it not seem to infect other sophisticated human cultures, allowing them to be responsive to dangers our leading culture is not, - and who is it, in history or alive today, who saw and offered ways we could get beyond our race to drive our societies to breakdown as a whole. My best science suggests it’s a very natural blind spot that invariably arises for societies that depict their rules for success as nature’s, then finding they’re not at all.
