How can we live our lives and stay within the planetary boundaries?

"Staying within the Planetary Boundaries is to live in a better world, in a world at peace" Teddy Serrano

This seminar's key points are:

  • Planetary boundaries should guide all societal change.
  • Transparency in the use of data and methodology is key to creating trust
  • Individual actions make a difference. Lead by example!
  • The triangle of Inaction " the other first": the individuals, the private sector, and the institutions.
  •  One solution might show great reductions in CO2 emissions but increase resource consumption, an absolute perspective is needed.


Climate budget: worldwide, we have a 2.2 tons of CO2 budget per person, to cover all our needs. This requires radical changes. It also demands a core focus on world inequalities.
