Background
Background
Societal crises can lead to shifts in behaviour and perspective, and that the current cluster of crises has led to a realisation of the interconnectedness of human behaviour and nature. Food culture in one country accidentally created a situation where a virus leapt across the species barrier, affecting millions of lives. Understanding, admitting, and addressing the fact that humans and nature depend on each other is necessary for addressing big complex problem-solving marathons such as abolishing systemic racism, fighting a global pandemic, and taking action on climate change.

Pacers is a planet positive movement grounded in science. Equal part learning program and ecosystem, designed for people with the will and power to inform society about social-ecological science and influence action in the right direction.
âDesigned and initiated by Planethon in close collaboration with Stockholm Resilience Centre, Planethon Pacers is a rare opportunity to learn from science, to interact and collaborate with scientists, experts, champion business leaders and influential peers.
The outcome was a 12 week online learning journey which included self paced learning content, mentor sessions with scientists & experts and live online sessions. We also host an activated ecosystem of Pacers forming initiatives in new partnerships and cross-collaborations.
"For me the Planethon Pacers became akin to climate crisis group therapy. To give myself and others dedicated time to concentrate on solutions and ideas while having access to experts in different fields. It helped me find a better focus for where I want to see change happen."

"Att vara en del av Pacers Àr att vara en del av nÄgot större, bÄde kreativt och rent kÀnslomÀssigt. Det Àr en styrka i att vara mÄnga som jobbar Ät samma sak - plötsligt hade vi hittat bÄde en, tvÄ och tre affÀrsidéer och engagemang som alla syftar till en bÀttre vÀrld för mÄnga. Jag blev modigare av att diskutera mina tankar med andra som vill Ät samma hÄll och steget att gÄ frÄn tanke till handling blev kortare. Vi behöver fler Pacers som tar steget - för allas vÄr skull."
