The Great Transition
Achieving planetary health will require a great transition where we all learn to do nearly
everything differently, such as:
• How we produce and consume food, manufactured products, and energy;
• How we construct and live in our cities;
• How we manage our natural landscapes and resources;
• And the stories we tell ourselves about our place in the world, our relationship to nature,
and what it means to live a good life.

To advance humanity’s wellbeing, the declining state of planet Earth
can no longer be ignored.
