Human growth has strained the Earth's resources, but as Johan Rockstromreminds us, our advances also give us the science to recognize this and change behavior. His research has found nine "planetary boundaries" that can guide us in protecting our planet's many overlapping ecosystems.
GOALS
To show the interconnectedness of all of Earth's systems.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING MATERIALS
On this journery, I'd like to bring, apart from yourselves, a good friend, a stakeholder, who's always absent when we deal with the negotiations on environmental issues, a stakeholder who refuses to compromise -- planet Earth." (Johan Rockstrom)
