Fifty years ago, The Limits to Growth shocked the world by showing that population and industrial growth were pushing humanity towards a cliff. Today the world recognises that we are now at the cliff edge: Earth has crossed multiple planetary boundaries while widespread inequality is causing deep instabilities in societies. 

But an international team of scientists, economists, and multidisciplinary experts have found that there is time to upgrade our economic system with five extraordinary turnarounds: Eliminate Poverty, Address Inequality, Women’s Empowerment, Transforming the Food and Energy Systems. If implemented in the next decade we can shift the economic system toward well-being for all within planetary boundaries. We need system change, and the new Earth4All book describes exactly what system change looks like. 

Can a “giant leap” happen quickly enough? What is the role of Norwegian business and Scandinavian governments? Join us on this discussion on the UN day 2022, 24 October 2022.
