The book explores the significance of planetary well-being as a theoretical and empirical concept in sustainability science and applies it to discipline-specific cases, including business, education, psychology, culture, and development.

Transformative change calls for deep systemic transformations in our production and consumption habits, and in the way people value nature and conceive a good quality of life. This novel work on planetary well-being addresses the critical need for more work on transformative change, in particular by conceptualising well-being for all life on Earth, for humans and non-humans.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnne Larigauderie, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eExecutive Secretary, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This wide-ranging, multifaceted volume advances a bold theoretical proposal: Earth as a whole, as an integrated complex system, can fare better or worse – in specifiable, measurable, theoretically defensible terms. Then the volume advances another, equally bold suggestion: thinking in terms of planetary wellbeing can inform policies in novel ways at various scales – to include and balance the needs, interests, leanings, and powers of all those humans and nonhumans that across time concur to propel Earth’s transformations. This volume opens and most competently orients a whole new research program, which is as ambitious and urgent as the theoretical and practical tasks it sets for itself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcello Di Paola, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor in the History of Philosophy,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Palermo, Italy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to interdisciplinary perspectives on planetary well-being \u003cb\u003ePart 1.
