Living Well Within Limits: ideas, results and ways forward
In this presentation, we synthesize 6 years of the Living Well Within Limits project. We start by situating our interdisciplinary research domain, which is oriented towards studying (and resolving) the core challenge of our time: how can 8 billion (and more) live well within planetary limits during this century? Of course, we must first define what we mean by human well-being, and how we can study it within the context of planetary phenomena: our analytic framework. However, we cannot tell the story of this project and its research without covering why this topic has not be studied before, including disciplinary obstacles arising from neoclassical economics. Once these bases are covered, we synthesize our research findings to date in the form of 8 stylized facts. As conclusion, we put forward “Living Well Within Limits” as full research domain, which welcomes contributions from scholars from every discipline, and active engagement with social movements to face the climate and ecological crises.
