Graphic: A shift in human values will support ecological health and social well-being

Caption

Unless human values shift dramatically and soon, the resulting damage to the natural world will likely be catastrophic, with long-lasting consequences for species and ecosystems, and devastating upheavals for humanity. A systemic change in human values is needed that focuses on Earth-centered governance, and entails a transition in collective values, behaviors, and institutional practices to prioritize long-term ecological health and social well-being over immediate gains.
