The Overshoot Briefing
Facing limits. Reframing risk. Finding clarity. Join the next Overshoot Briefing and shift your perspective—permanently.
We are operating beyond the limits of Earth’s safe systems. But most sustainability strategies fail to account for this overshoot. This 2-hour briefing is designed to close that gap—fast.
Grounded in Earth system science this session introduces the core feedback loops driving our trajectory beyond planetary boundaries. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where your organisation stands, and what that means for resilience, innovation, and risk.

Why It Matters
Most sustainability plans assume a world that no longer exists—one of infinite sinks, stable systems, and smooth decoupling. But the reality is different. From carbon cycles to nitrogen flows, from land systems to freshwater use, we are in overshoot.
Understanding this context isn’t about guilt—it’s about truth. And truth is the foundation for better decisions.
What You'll Learn
This is a strategic briefing, not a science lecture. In under two hours, you’ll gain clarity on:
Foundations

Contextual Insight
- Your industry’s share of planetary boundary pressure
- The limits of decoupling and tech-optimism
