I am a business innovation architect preparing entrepreneurs to the future of business. And the future of business is inextricably linked to the environment this is why I fall in love of the Doughnut Economy. I believe the most successful companies in the future will be competing to be the best for the climate and for the people. In my opinion there is no Climate Change crisis, there is the problem of the extinction of the human race if we continue with this trend. The wording of Climate Change is fundamentally wrong, this is why it doesn't work and people don't get involved. We should start talking about the extinction of the human race, because this is the real problem. The world will continue to run even without the human race, no doubt about. I believe that what we eat and how we eat is such a powerful leverage to reduce the carbon foot print on the planet and to respect all its beautiful creatures.
