Planetary Lecture Series #8 "Engaging Human Aspirations..."

We are excited to share the keynote lecture: "Engaging Human Aspirations to Motivate Progress Towards a World Where People and Nature Thrive Together" by Prof. Erle Ellis (University of Maryland, Baltimore County), delivered at the JLU Giessen on June 26, 2025. Can humans and nature truly thrive together? In this inspiring talk, our fellow at the Panel on Planetary Thinking, Prof. Ellis, introduces a groundbreaking new perspective—recently published in “Nature.” Rather than focusing solely on reducing environmental harm, he proposes redefining societal progress by strengthening the relationship between human societies and the rest of the living world. Drawing on the Human Development Index and the capabilities approach, Prof. Ellis spoke about his collaborating with an international team to develop a new global metric for the 2026 UNDP Human Development Report. He presented and discussed the “Nature-Relationship Index” during the keynote, inviting reflections from the audience in Gießen and beyond. Erle Ellis is Professor of Geography and Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). A Global Highly Cited Researcher, he studies the global ecology of human landscapes in the Anthropocene. He teaches environmental science and landscape ecology at UMBC and has taught at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. He is an author of the US National Nature Assessment and the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment, a Fellow of the Global Land Programme, Senior Fellow of the Breakthrough Institute, former Anthropocene Working Group member and Visiting Fellow at Oxford’s Martin School.
