“An extraordinary book at an extraordinary time”

Earth4All is a global initiative that has enabled two years of ground-breaking economic and scientific research which shows quantitatively, for the first time, how our physical world, economies and financial systems, and society interact with each other. It marks fifty years since the publication of the iconic Limits to Growth (Jorgen Randers et al), and has been delivered by a core team of 50 with input from hundreds more.

One output is the new book Earth for All, which will be released on 20th September, which is in many ways a sequel to Breaking Boundaries (Johan Rockström, Owen Gaffney + narrated by Attenborough on Netflix). The findings and recommendations represent the simplest, most economic set of solutions for the climate, environment and social challenges we face globally. Thus there are powerful implications for business and finance, not just government and civil society.

In partnership with Earth Echo International, the Georgie Badiel Foundation, the Jane Goodall Institute, Generation Unlimited and Share Save Spend, The Club of Rome, Pottinger, and Newday Impact Investing will host an interactive discussion with several of our world's most respected advocates for building a more sustainable world including;

The lead authors of Earth for All, including Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Sandrine Dixson-Declève (Co-Chair, Club of Rome), as well as Owen Gaffney, and Per Espen Stocknes of Earth For All
Impact leaders Anna Rathmann (Executive Director of the Jane Goodall Institute), Philippe Cousteau (co-founder of Earth Echo International), Georgie Badiel (Georgie Badiel Foundation), Kevin Frey (CEO of Generation Unlimited)
