‘Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity - Executive Summary’, Earth4All

This executive summary presents key findings from a two-year research project by Earth4All, exploring how to achieve wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries this century. The report outlines two possible scenarios for the world up to 2100:

1. ‘Too Little Too Late’ - continuing current economic policies
2. ‘Giant Leap" - making extraordinary decisions and investments for resilient societies

Key points include:

1. Five extraordinary turnarounds needed: i) eliminate poverty, ii) reduce inequality, iii) empower women, iv) transform food systems, and v) transform energy systems.
2. Economic transformation is affordable, requiring 2-4% of global income per year.
3. The report advocates for a shift to "wellbeing economies" that go beyond GDP growth.
4. It emphasises the need for strong, active governments to reshape markets and invest in long-term infrastructure.
5. The analysis uses system dynamics models to explore scenarios and policy impacts.
6. It calls for urgent action this decade to reduce risks and ensure economic security for all.
7. The report suggests establishing citizens' assemblies to navigate political resistance to transformation.
