re has never been more predictable than today. We know that people will w
ant to eat\, sleep\, be safely sheltered\, and move around.. They will als
o live in a world with more extreme weather and climate change\, as well a
s fewer ecological resources. We already have a massive overshoot of our
demands upon the planet relative to what it can sustain. Dialling back thi
s overshoot\, even if we do it ultra-fast\, will not be a quick-fix for th
e extreme weather and fewer ecological resources. What we also know for s
ure: humanity will get out of overshoot one way or another - the choice is
merely whether it will be by design or through disaster. Therefore\, comm
unities\, corporations or countries that do not prepare for this predicta
ble future will be at a large disadvantage. What are we waiting for? What
are our options? Be sure to register to hear Dr. Wackernagel explore t
hese questions and learn how Rotarians can get involved in tackling the th

The Topic of his Talk: \;The future has never been mor
e \;predictable than today. We know that people will want to eat\, sle
ep\, be safely sheltered\, and move around.. They will also live in a worl
d with more extreme weather and climate change\, as well as \;fewer ec
ological resources. We already have a massive overshoot of our demands upo
n the planet relative to what it can sustain. Dialling back this overshoot
\, even if we do it ultra-fast\, will not be a quick-fix for the extreme w
eather and \;fewer ecological resources. What we also know for sure: h
umanity will get out of overshoot one way or another - the choice is merel
y whether it will be by design or through disaster. Therefore\, communitie
s\, corporations or countries that do not prepare for this \;predictab
le future will be at a large \;disadvantage. What are we waiting for?
What are our options? \;
