Planetary Boundaries - Introductory 1-Day Workshop

Facing the ecological crisis and living within our limits

In AELA’s new annual series, we’ll learn from world leading scientists, economists, lawyers and regenerative communities, about how Planetary Boundaries can help us understand the ecological limits of our world, and how to take action toward a more sustainable pathway for human societies.

From Doughnut Economics to downscaling action at the bioregional level, join us for an insightful journey into the meaning and practical application of 21st century Earth System Science and Planetary Boundaries.
