We depend on our planet. Nonetheless, we ask too much of it. Natural resources are being depleted, biodiversity is declining, and food scarcity is increasing. In 2030, the demand for energy will be 50 per cent higher than it is today. The climate will change even more violently. We must adapt.

Demographic developments have a big impact on how we live with each other and how we relate to each other. An ageing population, urbanisation and rising migration. Those transitions? They started a long time ago all over the world.
