Johan Rockström is an internationally recognized
global sustainability scientist. He’s the joint director
of Germany’s Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research; co-chair of the world’s largest research network for global sustainability science, Future Earth; and one of the authors of the recent PNAS article detailing the trajectories of Earth systems that’s become known as the “Hothouse Earth” report.
