SSF's next webinar in the new series Tracking and Steering the Global Green Transition lets the audience listen into a conversation with futurist Hazel Henderson and sustainability pioneer, Mathis Wackernagel. Longtime allies, they will discuss the power of Mathis' Global Footprint Network and its famous metric of unsustainability, documenting “How Many Planets We Are Using.” Mathis is the co-author of the seminal book on human impacts on Earth systems, Our Ecological Footprint: Reducing Human Impact on the Earth. Mathis’ awards include the 2018 World Sustainability Award and the 2015 IAIA Global Environment Award, among many others

The Ecological Footprint measures human demand on nature, expressed as a single, easy-to-understand number that’s scalable from an individual to a global level.
Published regularly by UN agencies, WWF, World Economic Forum, and media from around the world, this ingenious meme has caught the attention of millions and shed light on humanity’s massive over-use of our planet Earth.
Mathis and Hazel will review the overlooked opportunities conventional financial markets are missing for shifting investments from fossilized 19th and 20th Century economies in transitioning to the strongly emerging, cleaner, greener, more inclusive, knowledge-richer economy that thrives within the means of our one planet.”
