In this podcast, Alice and Jana, learn from people who are working and thinking about sustainability issues everyday. They ask policy makers, activists, professors, economists, artists, lawyers (and more) question such as: Can engineering and technology solve the climate problem? Is economic growth compatible with a sustainable world? How can climate activists keep their momentum going after covid19? Can individual people make an impact on sustainability issues within their daily lives? The podcast’s aim is to offer you nuanced perspectives on a complex and relevant subject. On Sustainability believes that it is only through an exchange of ideas, between all involved parties, that we can deepen our understanding of how to achieve a more sustainable world.

    Each episode consists of an interview with a person who has a different sustainability-related background – from a politician to an engineer. The same four questions are asked – hopefully, showing a wide range of perspectives on the subject of sustainability. In addition to these general questions, each episode also includes a final, more in-depth discussion, personalized to the specific interviewee.  Thank you to Emilie Gourraud, Alice Lefrancq Fröjd, Marguerite Culot, Jordan Stanton, Gilad Granot and Vilhelm Lindvall. On Sustainability Website: https://www.onsustainabilitypodcast.com/ Portfolio:Emilie Gourraud: https://eagkunst.journoportfolio.com/Alice Lefrancq Fröjd: https://www.onsustainabilitypodcast.com/gallery/alice-lefrancq-frojd
