The Garrison Institute's first 2022 Pathways to Planetary Health (PPH) Forum, recorded on January 25, featured Dr. Haley Mellin (Art-to-Acres, Conserve.org) and Dr. Steven Brumby (Impact Observatory). Joined by co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose, they discussed innovative large-scale conservation, biodiversity's role in planetary health, and visualization to support these goals.

The event focused on the "Half-Earth" pathway, which emphasizes conserving 50% of terrestrial and ocean areas by 2050 in biodiversity-rich zones and connecting corridors. This aims to stabilize life and climate, though it is one necessary component of planetary health, not singularly sufficient. Learn more about all four PPH pathways and events here.

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).
