Freedom on a Finite Planet – How Can It Be Achieved?

The scientific concept of "Planetary Boundaries" is gaining increasing importance. It defines the limits of Earth's fundamental biological and physical systems that humanity must respect to ensure our long-term survival. Many fear that adhering to these boundaries might threaten their freedoms. Conversely, the impacts of climate change, loss of biodiversity, and destruction of natural resources also endanger our freedom and that of future generations. How can we resolve this contradiction?

Join us as we discuss with experts from various fields. How can freedom be achieved within the planetary boundaries? How do our individual choices affect developments in other parts of the world? And why is it crucial to achieve freedom for all people equally?
