Planetary Wellbeing

Debate. +16 years. 45 min

We cannot understand human, animal and planetary well-being separately. The one depends on the other; if we ignore a part of it, we will be neglecting the rest. That is why we must face current threats and challenges from a collective point of view, embracing the different scientific disciplines.

With Gabriel Rech (IBE, UPF-CSIC), Liudmila Liutsko (ISGlobal) and Raúl Montañez (DCEXS-UPF, IBE).

Date and time

This weekend, come to the Science Party to have fun, experiment, debate and discover that all people are geniuses!
