"""The work of IPBES has shown that many sustainable development goals will not be met by 2030 with current negative trends in biodiversity and may only be achieved through transformative changes across economic, social, political and technological factors. Transformative change calls for deep systemic transformations in our production and consumption habits, and in the way people value nature and conceive a good quality of life. This novel work on planetary well-being addresses the critical need for more work on transformative change, in particular by conceptualising well-being for all life on Earth, for humans and non-humans."" Anne Larigauderie, Executive Secretary, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) ""This wide-ranging, multifaceted volume advances a bold theoretical proposal: Earth as a whole, as an integrated complex system, can fare better or worse – in specifiable, measurable, theoretically defensible terms. Then the volume advances another, equally bold suggestion: thinking in terms of planetary wellbeing can inform policies in novel ways at various scales – to include and balance the needs, interests, leanings, and powers of all those humans and nonhumans that across time concur to propel Earth’s transformations. This volume opens and most competently orients a whole new research program, which is as ambitious and urgent as the theoretical and practical tasks it sets for itself.""
