With each passing year, the stark reality of a hotter planet becomes clearer and the ensuing risks to the global economy intensify. Geopolitical tensions and fragmentation risks are undermining our ability to coordinate global actions to solve this planetary problem. Join us in making a difference through research.

The Perils of Isolation: From Literature to Climate Crisis Alejandra Pizarnik once wrote about Franz Kafka, "He isolated himself too much in solitude and knew; he should have known, 'that no one ever returns from there.'" This haunting observation resonates in our hyper-connected yet paradoxically isolated world. As we retreat into digital bubbles, we risk severing our ties to the Earth's interconnected systems. Our disconnection from nature mirrors the isolation that consumed these writers, leading to a profound imbalance in our relationship with the environment. But there's hope. By reconnecting with each other and with nature, we can weave a new narrative - one of collective responsibility and harmonious coexistence with our planet. https://lnkd.in/dUnR_N7B How can we, as professionals and leaders, foster this crucial reconnection in our work and communities? #Sustainability #ClimateAction #BusinessLeadership

Investing in climate adaptation strategies is not only essential for resilience but also highly cost-effective. For every dollar allocated to adaptation, there is a potential return of $3 to $8 in cost avoidance over a decade. This translates to an impressive ROI of 200% to 700%. By acting now, we can significantly mitigate future expenses related to extreme weather events, making adaptation a prudent economic decision that pays off substantially in the long run.

This year is not only electorally significant; it also marks a critical juncture where planetary boundaries are being irreversibly crossed. The repercussions of this trend are poised to shape geopolitics and global #climate action 🌍 In a new episode of #EuropeInsideOut, Olivia Lazard and Rod Schoonover explore the link between ecological crises and geopolitics, and discuss whether Europe and the US are ready to face the profound changes underway.

🌍 Reflection on Economic Liberalism and the Climate Crisis 🌍 Economic liberalism is based on the idea that the rational actions of individuals ensure the efficiency of the system, where supply and demand determine prices. However, in the face of the climate crisis, responsibility often seems to be shifted onto individuals, sidelining the necessary structural changes. Today, the system encourages private actors to minimize costs, often at the expense of the environment, by externalizing the negative effects of their activities. This raises the following questions: - Can regulation be the key to implementing systemic change and preserving the future for generations to come?   - Should states take the lead in long-term planning by becoming strategic entities again, similar to the period following World War II? As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wisely said: “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” What do you think? #Economy #Climate #Responsibility #Regulation #Sustainability

How can a master's in religious studies be useful outside academia? Well, I use mine here as a framework to understanding why our climate crisis has gotten to its current point. If we want to enact better policies and shift our future, we need to look at the beliefs and ideologies we take for granted.
