Stockholm Series #5: From Limits to Growth to an Earth for All

The lecture marks the fifth event in the Stockholm Series of Public Lectures on Climate Change and Democracy.

This initiative is a cooperation between renowned Stockholm-based institutions with a particular focus on climate change and democracy from different perspectives. It aims to inform, inspire, and engage experts and the general public alike by providing high-profile public lectures on the climate-democracy nexus, followed by debate.

From Limits to Growth to an Earth for All with Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Honorary President, The Club of Rome & Executive Chair, Earth4All.

Fifty years ago, ‘The Limits to Growth’ warned that if growth trends continued, we would overshoot Earth’s capacity. Today, we stand at a cliff edge. But there is still time to change course. ‘Earth For All: A Survival Guide for Humanity’ has gathered the knowledge of an international team of scientists, economic thinkers, and multidisciplinary experts, presenting five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve wellbeing and prosperity for all, reduce social tension and ensure strong democracies within planetary boundaries, through its system dynamic analysis and modelling. Co-Author and Earth4All Executive Chair Sandrine Dixson-Declève will share insights from Earth4All’s findings and core strategies for steering the world towards a sustainable future at this complex time.

The lecture will be followed by a conversation with Jens Orback, Strategic Advisor, Global Challenges Foundation, and Dr Kevin Casas-Zamora, Secretary-General, International IDEA.

The event will conclude with a networking reception at 17:30.
