Many countries and companies annually share news with their constituents and stakeholders about how they are performing. These State of the Union or State of the Corporation meetings project how that entity is doing, and what lies ahead.​ But we rarely have a State of the Earth, in which we collectively focus on the planet: how robust it is, how vulnerable it is, and what is happening to address those strengths and weaknesses. We will address thoughts from four different sectors (the four Ps): People, Planet, Policy, and Purpose. ​Guests will report on their own activities in these sectors and discuss their attempts to improve sustainable measures in their corners, and then we’ll have a wider discussion on what we all can do to create a more resilient and equitable Earth.
