Earth at the Crossroads 2.0 explores the ramifications of recent space explorations, particularly the discovery of exoplanets in habitable zones, and how these findings influence our perceptions of life’s durability and scarcity. The conference brought together a multidisciplinary panel of experts, including astrobiologists, climate scientists, ethicists, and technologists, to discuss the convergence of extraterrestrial research and Earth’s sustainability efforts.

Addressing the persistent environmental crises, Earth at the Crossroads 2.0, highlights innovative solutions, from cutting-edge eco-friendly technologies and conservation methods to policy initiatives to reduce climate change impacts, biodiversity loss, and environmental harm.
