Living within  Planetary Boundaries: Alexandra Mitsotaki and Fr. John Chryssavgis in Conversation

Humanity has, in many ways, fallen short of living in balance with the natural world. This shortcoming suggests that policies and technologies alone may not be enough, and that we may also need a broader spiritual rethinking. How can life continue to flourish within planetary boundaries? And to what extent does this challenge require a broader transformation in our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world?

As President and co-Founder of the World Human Forum, Alexandra Mitsotaki has long worked to develop and promote a new paradigm for addressing the challenges facing humanity and the living world. Fr. John Chryssavgis,  Professor of Theology, and Executive Director of the Huffington Ecumenical Institute, has been a longtime adviser to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on environmental issues.

Their conversation will explore what deeper transformation the environmental crisis demands of us, including concerns for the  future of Democracy .

The conversation will be moderated by Nicolas Prevelakis, associate Director of Curriculum Development, Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University.
