A "planetary turn" is needed, which means that people must "think and act from the borders of the earth".
Gruhl's own assessment of whether "politicians or large sections of the people will understand the situation", i.e. give up on the path of economic and population growth, is cautious: "Perhaps the call will still reach the moving trains - although our assessment is more like that of the French poet Eugène Ionesca," who said that "there is no way out."
