Workshop 12: What is the Human Amoeba? Limits to Growth and Systems Thinking

Humans civilization is facing a polycrisis caused by human overshoot (overconsumption and overpopulation) in the form of climate change, mass extinction, ocean acidification, resource depletion, eutrophication, invasive species etc. Proposed technological solutions to these crises often are "one lego block" solutions that either cause more problems or aren't scalable. In this interactive workshop, students will learn to think critically about potential solutions as well as the need for "LESS".
