#BeyondGrowth - Understanding the biophysical limits to growth
Channel: GreensEFA
Date: 2023-05-16

The purpose of this plenary session is to provide an overview of the concept of "planetary limits", used to define the planetary playing field within which humanity can live safely, and the current state of the global crossing of planetary boundaries. It will also establish the relation between biophysical limits and economic growth, as well as the link between human activities and predation on biodiversity.
