A bountiful, biodiverse planet.

Biodiversity all around us, also in our cities. Loud bird songs bring peace to the mind. Clear water directs my attention to the plants, fish and insects. Rivers and streams are restored, also in the forests that smell fresh and are so quiet that I hear a lynx sneak by. We truly live on a unique and miraculous planet called Earth. Humanity has been able to restore the Earth system processes that previously transgressed planetary boundaries. Humans have found a meaningful way of contributing to ecosystems rather than exploiting and polluting them, while still being able to use all the regenerative resources they need. This is celebrated as a huge achievement and could only be done by working together locally and internationally. This cooperation further inspires economic transformations and peace building so that quality of life is higher than ever before.

I care about our quality of life.
I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
