I’m excited to share the recording of Professor Johan Rockström’s NUS120 Distinguished Speaker Series lecture and fireside chat. He unpacks the Planetary Boundaries framework and reminds us that seven of nine boundaries are already breached. Drawing on decades of research in water resilience and global sustainability, he explores why we need a “planetary mission control” where science guides policy and business decisions, and he invites us to rethink prosperity within ecological limits. If you’re curious about how to thrive in the Anthropocene and want a hopeful yet clear‑eyed roadmap for our shared future, this talk is essential viewing.
