Outrage + Optimism LIVE presents
Breaking Boundaries, Post Growth & The Future We Choose

Johan Rockström

Director of Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research & Author of Breaking Boundaries

Hot on the heels of the release of Breaking Boundaries on Netflix, and his book of the same title, earth systems scientist, Johan Rockström is known to world leaders in all sectors for his influential planetary boundaries framework. Nobody is better positioned to talk about the state of the climate today, the tipping points we have already crossed and what we can still do to avert the worst negative impacts of the climate crisis.

Tim Jackson

Director of The Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Properity at the University of Surrey & Author of Post Growth

Tim Jackson has spent more than three decades exploring the moral, economic and social dimensions of prosperity on a finite planet. He’s served as an advisor on sustainability to numerous commercial, government and intergovernmental organisations. He pioneered the concept of preventative environmental management—a core principle of the circular economy framework – and is an accomplished playwright in addition to his illustrious career in economics. In his latest book, Post Growth, Tim asks us to consider a new way of measuring success, well beyond our current economic vision.
