Promises
Many countries and organisations have pledged to achieve goals with respect to climate and biodiversity crises. What are the agreements in place and how are we doing with achieving them?
Welcome to the Macroscope
The place to talk ecology and what we can do for better nature and a sustainable, stable and fun society.
Do note the 10+ concrete actions for the planet and humanity we already identified.
About the Macroscope
"Ecologists [..] lack a Macroscope - a machine that reveals big patterns that emerge from a mass of local fuzz, and which operates on time-scales orders of magnitude longer than a three-year research grant."
- John H. Lawton
Good ecologists know which factors can influence an ecological process, but great ecologists weed down the list and tell you which are the key drivers. The Macroscope, often envisioned as a machine, is not a machine, it is a brain, or better yet - multiple brains working together, engaging in imaginative critical thinking, while wielding Ockham's razor.
This platform aims to be a Macroscope.
It tries to be a Macroscope so as to better understand the natural and human world, so as to be able to address the current socio-environmental crises. Read more about the platform's mission here.
