The Planetary Age

Humanity has entered
the planetary age

An age of total interdependence where every act has planetary repercussions. Biosphere Economics forges the paradigms to turn this epoch into the greatest metamorphosis in human history.

Stay informed quarterly about our activities and research

Biosphere Economics

Aligning
organizations
with the Biosphere

Biosphere Economics helps leaders and their organizations understand the planetary age and thrive within it, through keynotes, strategic seminars, and transformation engagements.

What we propose  →

The Biosphere

The Biosphere is
the foundation
of all prosperity.

All of the economy depends on the Biosphere. Its destabilization is the defining systemic risk of our century.

Homo Biospheris

one species can shape
the fate of the Earth system.

Seven of the nine planetary boundaries have already been crossed. The time has come for Homo sapiens to evolve toward Homo biospheris.

Biosphere Economics

The economy is the
metabolism
of humanity.

Today, that metabolism exceeds planetary boundaries. The concept of biosphere economics is a framework to reconcile the economy and the biosphere.

Energy Transition

Energy lies
at the heart
of all planetary boundaries.

The energy transition requires innovation and the ability to manage complexity at scale. That is what we propose with our partner Artelys.

AI & Transition

AI is the most
powerful tool
ever created.

This technology cannot be left to its most dangerous uses. We help organizations rethink how AI can serve humanity and the biosphere.

Planetary Lab

The planetary age
calls for
new paradigms.

The Planetary Lab develops the concepts, frameworks and narratives needed to support the transition toward Homo biospheris and biosphere economics.

Our approach

What we propose

Biosphere Economics helps leaders and their organizations understand the planetary age and thrive within it. We provide the tools to navigate this complexity, open new trajectories and realign with the biosphere.

Biosphere Economics was founded by Jean-Pierre Goux, mathematician, former CEO in the energy sector, author and speaker. Depending on your priorities, we bring together the most relevant experts and strategic partners.

The Biosphere

The entirety of life on Earth forms a single system: the Biosphere.

The Biosphere is a thin, fragile envelope stretching from the ocean floor to the lower atmosphere. Built over 3.8 billion years of evolution, it has protected every living thing that has ever existed. This system is now under threat. Reconciling the economy with the biosphere is the ultimate challenge of our time.

02 IMAGINE

Strategic Seminars

Our seminars are designed for leadership teams that need to regain perspective, rebuild a shared vision and turn uncertainty into strategic capacity in the planetary age.

Four tensions leaders experience and to which we respond.To better assess the contribution of our seminars.

Strategic Context

Four headwinds turned into strategic forces.

The ecological transition adds to the challenges organizations already face. The Biosphere Economics seminars offer leaders:

a deep understanding of the forces at play in the planetary era

a renewed identity through a regenerative trajectory, in service of a larger purpose

That clear bearing turns headwinds into strategic forces.

Headwind

Shifting regulations, geopolitical volatility, planning cycles obsolete before they start.

→
Strategic force

In uncertain times, the real strategic edge is to read the era more clearly and to know the organization better. The planetary age framework clarifies deep identity: who you are, what you serve, where you are headed. That clarity keeps the course steady when everything around is shifting.

  • 5 to 30 participants
  • 1 or 2 days, depending on your needs
  • French or English
  • Tailored to your sector and stage of transition
  • Each seminar can be taken independently
  • At your premises or at an inspiring venue

03 Transform

Planetary Trajectory

For small or large organizations willing to go further. An engagement built around your specific context to design and implement a transformation and impact strategy, robust in the planetary age and effective over time.

We work with experts and strategic partners from many fields to co-design with your teams tailor-made transformation processes adapted to your unique situation: corporate history, values, advancement level on regeneration, and economic context. From vision to reality.

Thinking and acting at the scale of the planetary age.

The Planetary Age

Humanity has become planetary in number, reach and consequence. The diagnosis of the age now opening, and the evolutionary responses it requires.

Explore the Planetary Age →

The Biosphere

The living system that has maintained the conditions for life on Earth for billions of years. The foundation of everything.

Explore the Biosphere →

Homo Biospheris

Humanity evolving into a planetary collective, assuming its role as an organ of the Biosphere, with the missions that come with it.

Explore Homo Biospheris →

Biosphere Economics

A new economic framework that reintegrates the Biosphere as the foundation of all value, not as a constraint.
