Our Planet, Our Future is the title of the 2021 Nobel Prize Summit. As a follow up to that summit, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine recently published Our Planet, Our Future: An Urgent Call for Action d/d April 29th, 2021.
The opening paragraph of the Noble Laureate declaration implicitly calls for immediate unified worldwide action: The first Nobel Prize Summit comes amid a global pandemic, amid a crisis of inequality, amid an ecological crisis, amid a climate crisis, and amid an information crisis. These supranational crises are interlinked and threaten the enormous gains we have made in human progress.

Some places cannot be physically changed. Venice, situated on many small islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, doesn’t have the same development capacity as other cities.
With one major road and two side streets, there’s not much wiggle room. However, that doesn t mean it can’t adapt to become more environmentally friendly and habitable for its citizens. Paola Malanotte-Rizzoli, a physical oceanographer and a panellist at the Nobel Prize Summit on Wednesday, argued that her home city has naturally started to achieve that goal with the pandemic putting a halt to tourism.
