Despite advances in sustainability, humanity remains on track to overshoot critical planetary boundaries.
Why? Because the goalpost of ‘endless economic growth’ remains largely unchallenged.
Watch recognised sustainability researcher and wellbeing economist Gaya Herrington, in conversation with GIFT.ed Founder & Chairperson Chandran Nair.
Drawing on her influential update to The Limits to Growth and her vision for a wellbeing economy, Gaya unpacks why thriving within ecological and social limits isn’t a sacrifice, but a better path toward long-term success.
The conversation explors how businesses – particularly in emerging economies – can lead this transition, and how individuals at every level can help reshape the story of progress for the 21st century.
