Welcome to IESP!
We are a group of scientists, politicians, and business representatives who are deeply concerned about the future of humanity, and strive to find solutions for the current earth crises. We are convinced that none of the earth crises can be solved by itself, but that integrated solutions are needed - solutions that recognize and work with the interconnectedness among the different parts of the Earth System.The aims and mission of IESP are summarized in the “Zugspitze Declaration on the Responsibility of Humanity for the Functioning of the Earth System."
To raise awareness and develop solutions, we are organizing workshops and meetings, the most recent ones include:
