Earth Co-LAB:Perspective of the EARTH beyond SDGs

Earth Co-LAB is a platform for learning resilience from the history and activities of humanity, life, and the Earth, while envisioning the future. By adopting a perspective that overlooks Earth's 4.6 billion years of continuous co-creation, we are able to perceive aspects that are often missed by the SDGs. This workshops offer motifs for a future that goes beyond the SDGs, under the thematic project "Invigorating Lives".
