Join us for an insightful conversation with Nobel Prize Winner Mathis Wackernagel, creator of the Ecological Footprint, as we explore biocapacity, resource security, and the path to eradicating poverty. Learn why biocapacity is the ultimate constraint on carbon emissions, food production, and mining, and discover transformative strategies for a sustainable future. Mathis shares actionable insights on motivation, metrics, and why waiting for consensus isn’t an option. This is a discussion about agency, choice, and what will truly hold value in a predictable yet resource-limited world. Don’t miss this empowering dialogue!
