Today, the need for programme(s) that include the comprehensive decarbonisation and restructuring of our economies and social systems while protecting the climate from collapse has become imperative.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.rosalux.eu/en/topic/23.events.html?id=1200&fbclid=IwAR36vQz22l4HyKb-JvttPhxY3XgjfjDfwIa7XlZCSc1IzoG4lAyhJSqTsPI">https://www.rosalux.eu/en/topic/23.events.html?id=1200&fbclid=IwAR36vQz22l4HyKb-JvttPhxY3XgjfjDfwIa7XlZCSc1IzoG4lAyhJSqTsPI</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#70AD47'>Opportunities for One - Planet Prosperity: Lightening our Global Footprint and how companies can help humanity succeed<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sixty Minutes with Hazel Henderson and Mathis Wackernagel<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
