New Briefing Paper - Connecting People and Planet for a Sustainable Future

Submitted by Peter Kearns on March 15, 2022 - 12:18

We are pleased to make available to PASCAL subscribers a further paper in the EcCoWell series by Peter Kearns, entitled, Connecting People and Planet for a Sustainable Future.

This paper examines how PASCAL EcCoWell 3 could be further developed as a path to a sustainable future in a turbulent period of disruptive change. The paper draws on the 2021 UNESCO Reimagining the Future Together report in its assessment of the critical situation confronting humanity and the planet requiring transformation of the world towards “a more just, equity, and sustainable future”.
