More than 80 contributors participated in JYU.Wisdom's joint effort to produce the book Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Planetary Well-Being. The book is available open access.

Read the book on the publisher's website.

Now we're welcoming everyone to come and get familiar with the contents of the book and the JYU.Wisdom community. The book tour consists of 6 sessions, each devoted to 1-3 chapters and hosted by the faculty where those chapters have been authored.

This event series also serves as a reading club, so if you have time to read the chapter(s) in advance, you are encouraged to come and give your reflections on their topics - but no reading required!

Today's theme is measuring, accounting, and steering. The following chapters will be discussed:

  • Extinction risk indices for measuring and promoting Planetary Well-being (Puurtinen et al). Chapter 14.
  • A Planetary Well-being accounting system for organizations (el Geneidy & Kotiaho). Chapter 15.
  • Financial system in steering the economy towards Planetary Well-being (Heimonen et al). Chapter 16. 

The event will be only on-site, no hybrid. Coffee and tea will be served.

Warmly welcome all!

The later book tour visits are as follows:

  • 29.11. theme is cultural and decolonial perspectives.
  • 13.12. theme is ethics, ontology, and social sciences perspectives.
