Welcome to the Earth Viability Center VCC. Earth Viability’s initial research program is focused on Viability Indices, i.e. key indicators which show how the actual state of the Earth Life Support System compares to a healthy state, i.e. the viability of the ELSS. To the extent possible this will be done for scales ranging from the global to the local. To make progress towards the Center’s vision, the Center also engages in the development of an Earth Viability Dashboard and of social collaboration platforms as a global societal infrastructure that facilitate the wide use of Earth viability knowledge for decision making at all levels.

[Mar. 20, 2024] Young People are less happy: The 2024 World Happiness Report finds that young people in North America, Australia and Western Europe are less happy. "While not all teenagers and young adults are suffering, a large and growing number cannot cope with being left adrift with few qualifications on an economic sea that is more testing with each passing year. Social media is believed to play a part in driving down self-esteem and robbing young people of their wellbeing. But it is the lack of education, skills training and affordable housing that underpins the decline in the positive outlook traditionally displayed in surveys by those broadly fitting the gen Z age group." (From Inman, 2024).
Can bringing them to Place4Us change this?
