Is it too late to save our planet? Professor Jianguo Liu is the newest winner of The Gunnerus Award in Sustainability Science. He offers us some hope.

This year the world’s population will top 8 billion people. Nature faces massive challenges, mainly because humans consume more than the planet can handle.

At the same time, when we should be working together across borders to solve these challenges, humans are still quarreling over politics, religion, trade and territories, just as we have for millennia.

Is there hope? And if so, why?

“Yes, I think there is hope despite many global challenges,” says Professor Jianguo Liu, who holds the Rachel Carson Chair in Sustainability at Michigan State University in the United States.

The Gunnerus Sustainability Award is an international research prize with an honorarium of NOK 1 million. It is jointly awarded every other year by the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (DKNVS) and NTNU.

The award recognizes outstanding scientific work in global sustainable development and aims to promote research and strengthen the scientific basis of sustainability.
