Earth4All: Germany

Published 2024 – Based on data analysis carried out in collaboration with the Wuppertal Institute and the Millennium Institute, this book develops the two future scenarios set out in Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity for the German context: Too Little Too Late – where we continue a path of business as usual which exacerbates the current crises; and the Giant Leap – where transformative actions enable us to achieve wellbeing for all within the planetary boundaries.   

Earth4All: Germany explores possible strategies to address the current challenges facing the country, and demonstrates how it is possible to overcome environmental crises while safeguarding democracy and prosperity. It shows that by pursuing all three goals together, the solutions can complement each other and provide co-benefits. 

The book defines what an Earth4All means in Germany and identifies opportunities and policy recommendations related to Earth4All’s five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries.
