Last week, following the 2021 Nobel Prize Summit, a group of Nobel laureates and other experts, including GTN member Johan Rockström, issued a call for far-reaching global action on climate change and other global crises:
We need to reinvent our relationship with planet Earth. The future of all life on this planet, humans and our societies included, requires us to become effective stewards of the global commons — the climate, ice, land, ocean, freshwater, forests, soils, and rich diversity of life that regulate the state of the planet, and combine to create a unique and harmonious life-support system. There is now an existential need to build economies and societies that support Earth system harmony rather than disrupt it.
