Johan Rockström will now continue to talk about the extraordinary stable period that provided the right conditions for development into today’s societies. The Holocene period, is the ONLY climatic condition we know of that supports humanity, it’s sometimes referred to as, “the period of grace.” When entering the Anthropocene, we need to understand what changes compared to this period may critically undermine future human development and well-being.
- Were you aware about the very unique climate conditions that are the basis for today’s human world?
- Does this insight change the way you think about sustainability, the scale of effort needed to ensure it?
