Will Russia agree to a ceasefire? Political analyst and youtuber Vlad Vexler gives us the inside track on Russian opinion on the war. Economist Linda Yueh explains how US tariffs affects world trade and former Welsh government minister Jane Davidson is with us to celebrate 10 years of the Future Generations Act - what is it and what has it achieved? Nicola Sturgeon is standing down from Holyrood at the next Scottish election. Veteran broadcaster Lesley Riddoch talks about her legacy. After twenty years of research, Professor Kevin Morgan from Cardiff University has published a book, 'Serving the Public'. He tells us why he thinks free school meals is a wonderful Welsh innovation. Cardiff County Councillor Rodney Berman and Anna Brychan from the University of Wales Trinity St Davids review the Sunday papers.

One of the less well known but perhaps more significant outcomes of the Welsh Labour - Plaid Cymru Cooperation Agreement following the 2021 national election in Wales, was a commitment to "Commission independent advice to examine potential pathways to net zero by 2035...". Shortly afterwards an expert group was assembled with former Pontypridd Senedd member Jane Davidson chairing, the Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) providing the research supported by a secretariat from Welsh Government. Three years later, the work has been completed and the 'pathway' reports received by Deputy FM Huw Irranca-Davies. So, what next? What will happen with the reports and what were the key recommendations made? To discuss, we are joined by Jane Davidson and Dr Jack Price of the WCPP.

In this month's podcast, Fiona chats to environmentalist Jane Davidson – our new Vice President - about the impact of climate change on her life and her gardening. In a fascinating discussion for our September Organic Gardening Podcast, the former Welsh Government minister shares her organic gardening trials and triumphs in North Pembrokeshire, and the importance of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act, which she spearheaded. “We've lost 70 per cent of species in my lifetime…and we're likely to exceed the crucial 1.5 degrees this year - and that's a massive wake-up call,” says Jane, who is Chair of Wales Net Zero 2035. “I'm absolutely passionate about the idea that if we teach young children about the value of nature, then we actually breed habits that can sustain forevermore. Also in this episode Fiona and Chris discuss the effect of this year's changeable weather on their gardens and crops, looking at what's done well and what hasn't.  Chris shares insights into tomato blight, and how to bring a pop of autumn colour into your planting schemes. And from the postbag, Anton discusses harvesting carrots and parsnips and autumn seed sowing.

In this interview, Dawn Lyle discusses with Jane Davidson, Chair of the Net Zero 2035 Challenge Group for Wales, the ambitious project to accelerate Wales' Net Zero target from 2050 to 2035. Jane explains that the project, titled ‘Wales Net Zero Challenge, 2035', was initiated from an agreement between the Welsh Labour Government and Plaid Cymru in 2021. The group aims to provide independent advice on potential pathways to achieving net zero emissions by 2035 (bringing the date forward from 2050), considering the societal and economic impacts and how adverse effects can be mitigated. The project also looks at how costs and benefits can be shared fairly across Wales. The group is seeking evidence and insights on several key areas: how Wales can feed itself by 2035; meeting energy needs while phasing out fossil fuels; heating and building homes and workplaces by 2035; connecting people and places across Wales by 2035; and what education, jobs and work could look like across Wales by 2035. They are also focusing on the future of education and work in relation to a move away from a fossil fuel economy. Jane emphasises that the work of the group is underpinned by the latest academic evidence provided by the Wales Centre for Public Policy. She invites all interested parties to contribute their views and evidence towards the project by Christmas, with the aim of having a draft proposal ready for public consultation in the Spring of next year. The interview concludes on a hopeful note, with Jane highlighting the potential for Wales to lead the way not only in the UK but globally in terms of finding pragmatic and equitable solutions to achieve net zero. This conversation was recorded in September 2023, in the run up to the South West Wales Green Economy Conference (Nov 2023).

All Scottish Independence supporters know that the weight of UK media is against us. The BBC deploys subtle - and not so subtle - tactics on a daily basis to undermine what it sees as a threat to the increasingly DISunited Kingdom.

Our first guests are Jane Davidson and Sylvia Willmot who started a conversation in Facebook which turned into an invitation onto our show.

There are growing calls for the crime of "ecocide", meaning mass damage and destruction of ecosystems, to be recognised in international criminal law. This would ensure that individuals, company directors, CEOs, can be prosecuted for the ecological damage caused by the organisations they head up, like oil spills, deforestation, or soil pollution, wherever these organisations may be. Could this be the missing piece in the broader battle against climate change? Is it workable? And what are the steps to get there? We interview Jojo Mehta, executive director and co-founder of Stop Ecocide International, to find out.

This year, the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts holds its 40th annual festival from August 11–14, at the Rockwood Centre in Sechelt, BC. We sat down for a Q+A with Jane Davidson, Artistic and Executive Director of the Festival. Jane shares what makes this year's festival special, and reflects on some of her favourite memories and achievements from the past 15 years, as she prepares to pass on the torch. Next, hear a special release of the 2021 Rockwood Lecture, delivered by Seth Klein, from the SCFWA's archives. The Director of Strategy with the Climate Emergency Unit, Klein's book, A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency explores how we can fight the climate crisis using lessons from the Second World War. Called “a compelling call to arms”, A Good War shows us how far we have to go, but how averting the climate crisis is well within our reach.

The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts is marking 40 years of bringing Canadian readers and writers together, so instead of the Festival preview podcast we usually release this time of year we're taking you on an audio tour of our history. Part 2 tells the story of Jane Davidson's 15 years with the Festival, the Legacy of Literacy, the impact of the pandemic and the appointment of our new Artistic and Executive Director, who takes the reins in the fall, and festival memories through the voices of Jane, past presidents Jean Bennet and Wendy Hunt, incoming AED Marisa Alps, a few of our past authors and the Founding Mothers. Visit www.writersfestival.ca for information on this year's line up, tickets and more!

Hello listeners! This month we talk to the Artistic and Executive Director of the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, Jane Davidson! We chat about planning a literary festival, pitches, amazing events and what it's been like running the festival for fifteen years. And as always, tangents, Rosie barks, rage and emotions.

In our final episode we dive into the role art and culture play in cultivating long-termism at scale. Far from being window dressing, art and culture forms the operating systems of our world; it has the power to shift our collective identity.  Culture doesn't just reflect societal norms, it has the power to change, iterate and manifest new ones. We'll meet the artists, creators and curators who are using time as both their medium and their message, and explore the role of creativity in shifting us to a long-term society.Special thanks to the contributors to this episode, Brian Eno, Bridgit Antoinette Evans, Katie Paterson, Jeremy Lent, Anab Jain and Sherri Mitchell.Discover more about Brian Eno here.Find out more about the work of Bridgit Antoinette Evans and the Pop Culture Collaborative here.Discover Katie Paterson's work here and delve into the Future Library.Find out about Jeremy Lent's work including The Patterning Instinct here.Experience the work of Anab Jain and Superflux here.Find out about Sherri Mitchell's projects and writing here.If you want to delve deeper into Long Time ideas, here is a suggested reading list!NON-FICTION Deep Time Reckoning - Vincent IalentiFutureGen - Jane DavidsonTimefulness - Marcia BjornerudThe Precipice - Toby OrdPip Pip - Jay GriffithsThe Clock of the Long Now - Steward BrandThe Good Ancestor - Roman KrznaricDoughnut Economics - Kate RaworthSandtalk - Tyson YunkaportaThe Patterning Instinct - Jeremy LentThe War for Kindness - Jamil ZakiBraiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall-KimmererUnderland - Robert MacfarlaneThe Oldest Living Things in the World - Rachel Sussman Sacred Instructions - Sherri MitchellFICTIONKindred- Octavia ButlerThe Parable Series  - Octavia ButlerThe Ministry for the Future - Kim Stanley RobinsonThe OverStory - Richard PowersMan V.

How can we do politics with a Long Time lens? So often it feels like our leaders are firmly stuck in the short-term, motivated by getting re-elected every four or five years and the sway of vested interests. In this episode we meet the people changing this both from within government and outside it, with their imaginative and innovative - yet highly realistic - Long Time approaches to politics and law. We travel to ancient Greece, hear from teenagers suing their governments, ministers creating new laws to care for future generations, academics in Japan who are using theatrical methods to enable policymakers to feel into the future, and indigenous wisdom-keepers whose oldest living democracy on the planet shows us what a political system that cares for all future earth-dwellers looks like. Special thanks to the contributors to this episode, Roman Krznaric, Michelle Schenandoah, Mama Bear, Tatsuyoshi Saijo, Jane Davidson, Julia Olson and Levi Draheim. Leave us a voice note here telling us how listening to this series is making you feel about the present and the future - we listen to all your messages and would love to include some in future episodes. Irish referendum clips courtesy of Courtesy of The Citizens Assembly - Youtube Channel and ITV NewsJulia Olson in court audio courtesy the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Official YouTube Channel, December 11th 2017Welsh devolution referendum results Courtesy of BBC News, 1997Kurt Vonnegut clip from NOW October 2005 courtesy of PBSSophie Howe, Welsh Future Generations Commissioner clip courtesy of Senedd Cymru/ Welsh Parliament, September, Youtube, September 2019CREDITSThe Long Time Academy comes to you from Headspace Studios and The Long Time Project, and is produced by Scenery Studios. The series was created and produced by Lina Prestwood and Ella SaltmarsheProduced by Ivor Manley and Madeleine Finlay Executive producers at Headspace Studios are Ash Jones, Leah Sutherland & Morgan SelzerOriginal artwork by Mavi MoraisDesign by Loz Ives & Lewis Kay-ThatcherOriginal music, sound design and mixing by Tristan Cassel-Delavois, Scott Sorenson & Chris Murguia

Today's guest is Jane Davidson and in her book ‘Future Gen - Lessons From A Small Country' she explains how, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales, she proposed what became the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 – the first piece of legislation in history to place regenerative and sustainable practice at the heart of government. Unparalleled in scope and vision, the Act connects social, environmental, economic and cultural wellbeing and looks to solve complex issues through better decision-making. This may very well be the answer the whole world is waiting for.Alongside her work with the the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act Jane also introduced the first plastic bag charge in the UK, and her recycling regulations took Wales to third best in the world. She created the Climate Change Commission for Wales, the post of Sustainable Futures Commissioner and the Wales Coast Path. In education, she piloted major curriculum changes for early years – and she integrated Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship – into the Welsh curriculum.While Jane and I talked about many aspects of what it means to align policy with better outcomes for the planet there was one thing that she said to me that really stood out - and it was this. The words economy and ecology both contain one unifying phrase being the word ECO. Eco by definition is the environment, habitat or surroundings.Based on this idea it seems only natural that our economy would be one that would be symbiotic with the environment, yet sadly in many parts of the world it is not. There is so much we can learn from one very small country with a very big mission to show all of us exactly what a sustainable country and that cares for future generations should look like.So get ready to run with me through mountain tops of the welsh countryside with the one and only Jane Davidson.

SCFWA artistic and executive director Jane Davidson and board president John Lussier join Sean Eckford for a preview of the 2021 Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts, which opens July 4.

Jane was captivated by her first opera at the age of eight, and realising she loved story-telling in all different forms, went on to study English and Drama at university. Working as a dresser while she was a student, Jane was drawn to the myriad of stories told on stage, and became a drama teacher, where she shared that love and passion with her students. Seeing the job as Director of Outreach and Education advertised at Scottish Opera, she went for it (despite having no experience), and they realised that Jane's commitment to telling stories in fresh and imaginative ways made her the perfect candidate. Jane was Awarded an MBE in 2017 in recognition of the achievement of Scottish Opera's unique outreach programme in Scotland and internationally. This year, she is celebrating Scottish Opera's 50 years of pioneering outreach and education work, with a unique series of projects bringing music and performance into the lives of people and communities across the country.

RVN panellists Aoife Smith, Elle Payne, Jane Davidson, Zara Livingstone and veterinary nurse-turned personal trainer Adam Robinson – all leading experts in their fields of well-being and health – answered delegates’ questions and shared the day-to-day magic moments that make being an RVN a job like no other.

An argument between economists is usually as exciting as reading the phone book (what's that?), especially about something as boring-sounding as the discount rate. But it's an argument that underlies how governments and businesses solve (or don't solve) climate change. So, literally life and death stuff. Jason, Rob, and Asher explore why the discount rate, and discounting the future more broadly, is so deadly important, and why the number 0 is what our kids and grandkids deserve. In our Do-the-Opposite segment, catch up with Jane Davidson and her ideas for establishing better governance and a livable environment.Support the show (https://www.postcarbon.org/supportcrazytown/)

We live in a world where so much political decision-making seems to be based on short-term thinking, the next opinion poll, next quarter, next election, yet so many of the problems we face are the result of our failing to think in the long term. We use the future as a place to dump the problems we can't resolve, to dump our pollution, carbon emissions, the thorny issues we'd rather avoid. Indigenous cultures and wiser civilisations of the past planned and thought with future generations in mind, so why can't we? And how different would the world be if we did?   I am joined for this episode by Roman Krznaric, author of the recent book 'The Good Ancestor: How to Think Long Term in a Short Term World' and one of Britain's leading popular philosophers, and also by Jane Davidson, author of '#futuregen: Lessons from a Small Country', Pro Vice-Chancellor Emeritus at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and former Minister for Environment and Sustainability in Wales where she proposed legislation to make sustainability the central organising principle of government - the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act.   Please consider supporting the podcast by visiting www.patreon.com/fromwhatiftowhatnext and becoming a patron.

The dust is far from settled on the US Presidential Election 2020 but the clear Biden victory suggests a revived (and welcome) role for coherent policy making at home and abroad for the next four years. What does this mean for Wales, the UK and the wider world and what did we learn about America during the election? To discuss with Matt and Ceri is political scientist Dr Jac Larner - a specialist in political psychology and Fullbright Fellow - and Jane Davidson, former Welsh Government Minister and author of #FutureGen, the story of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act.

Jane Davidson is such an inspiration! She's been in our Winatlife program for almost 2 years and her rheumatoid arthritis is now in remission. But she’s also struggled with her body image her entire life. I know so many women in our audience struggle with similar issues, so I decided to sit down with Jane and talk about how she’s come to accept her body and love herself. We chat about:➡️Her personal journey involving yo-yo dieting for 35+ years➡️How she learned to love herself and her body even when she weighed in at her heaviest ➡️How her relationships have impacted her body acceptance➡️Why body image and acceptance comes from withinAnd much more!If you’re struggling with your body image, give this a listen! You aren’t alone and it is possible to love yourself at every size.

And so we reach our thirteenth episode. Wow. Thank you so much for being with us on this journey so far. We have an amazing episode for you today. We live in a world where so much political decision-making seems to be based on short-term thinking, the next opinion poll, next quarter, next election, yet so many of the problems we face are the result of our failing to think in the long term. We use the future as a place to dump the problems we can't resolve, to dump our pollution, carbon emissions, the thorny issues we'd rather avoid. Indigenous cultures and wiser civilisations of the past planned and thought with future generations in mind, so why can't we? And how different would the world be if we did?

Our deep and far reaching conversation will hopefully give you a rich and delicious taste of how different the future would be if we lived in a world in which governments, organisations and indeed all of us, factored future generations into all of our decision making. Prepare your imagination for a good workout. As always, do let me know what you think....

Anyone who wants to see a greener, more prosperous, lower carbon, more equal and healthier future for Wales, and for the planet, owes a debt of gratitude to Jane Davidson, former Welsh Government Minister and erstwhile Pro VC of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, for her pioneering work to embed sustainable development and one-planet principles at the heart of decision making in Wales.    In her new book, '#FutureGen, Lessons from a Small Country', Jane Davidson recounts Wales' journey towards the creation of the The Wellbeing of Future Generations Act of 2015, which was the first piece of legislation anywhere in the world to enshrine the rights of nature and future generations in law.  It's the story of how "one small nation responded to global climate issues by radically rethinking public policy for future generations".    In this interview with Jane Davidson, 4theRegion's Dawn Lyle explores what makes the WBFGA so important; the tension between individual responsibility and the need for governments to lead the way; some inspiring stories of sustainable development principles in action across society; and what needs to happen next in order to deliver fully on the promise of the Act in Wales.    #FutureGen is available in audio, ebook and hardback formats. https://janedavidson.wales/book

For the fourth of our series of podcasts with members of Scottish Opera we spoke to Jane Davidson, their Director of Education & Outreach. She explains what the job entails, the company's education strategy, their partnerships at home and abroad, the challenges faced in the role, how they reach out to all areas of Scotland, and work with all ages groups. It's a fascinating insight into the work Scottish Opera does off stage and often away from the public eye. As the conversation unfolds you are left in no doubt of the love that Jane has for her job, and how passionately she believes that art and performance have a vital role to play in a nation's education.

Article C2.1.1 of ASME’s Constitution states that “The Purposes of the Society are to … promote the art, science and practice of mechanical and multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences”; By-law B2.1 says that one of the most important ways ASME does this is to “…publish papers and reports and disseminate knowledge and experience of value to engineers.” In this episode of ASME Today & Tomorrow, ASME Executive Director/CEO Tom Costabile talks with Jane Davidson, Chair of ASME’s Pubs Committee and Philip DiVietro, ASME’s Managing Director for Publishing, to discuss some of the challenges they have handled together at the helm of ASME’s publications world.

Festival board member Sean Eckford sits down with Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts producer Jane Davidson for a look ahead to the 2018 festival, which opens August 16

‘The Voices of Women will be performed at the Melbourne Recital Centre (Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, cnr Southbank Boulevard and Sturt Street, Melbourne) on 20 March 2018. In this podcast, CHE Deputy Director and leader of the Performance Program Jane Davidson talks to Marshall McGuire (Ludovico’s Band) about baroque female composers, historical music performances and emotions. Tickets for the event can be purchased at: https://www.melbournerecital.com.au/events/2018/the-voices-of-women/. Being a woman in the male-dominated music industry is difficult enough today, so what would it have been like 400 years ago? This concert will enable audiences to catch a glimpse into the world of three Baroque female composers. Melbourne’s renowned Ludovico’s Band (www.ludovicosband.com) will team up with composer and soprano Helen Thomson to perform ‘The Voices of Women’. The performance will feature works by composers Isabella Leonarda, Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, who were all active in Italy in the seventeenth century, and who enjoyed varying degrees of success during their lifetimes.

In October 2017, we welcomed Jane Davidson and Jody Evans to the Salon to discuss what music audiences want and feel; how music audience experience contributes to well-being; and what can be done to improve music audience experiences.

The Tale of Orpheus will be performed at the Meat Market Theatre in North Melbourne, 7-8 September 2017. In this podcast, Jane Davidson (Artistic Director) and David Greco (Orfeo) discuss Monteverdi, emotions and historical music performances. Tickets for the event can be purchased at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-tale-of-orpheus-by-claudio-monteverdi-tickets-35869349189. The Tale of Orpheus reimagines Claudio Monteverdi’s baroque masterpiece L’Orfeo ‒ arguably the first ‘true’ opera ‒ for the twenty-first century. Known to his contemporaries as an 'oracolo della musica', Monteverdi was a musical visionary. His talent for communicating emotion, and using it as a powerful driving force, explains L’Orfeo’s enduring appeal today. This production explores the work’s creative potential even further, in a modern re-telling of one of the most influential and beloved stories in operatic history. The Tale of Orpheus has been produced by the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music at The University of Melbourne in association with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions.

Dr Jane Davidson has achieved many things in her time and this conversation takes us from her childhood in Africa to her current role as Pro Vice-Chancellor for Sustainability and Engagement and Director of INSPIRE at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David which is on a journey to embed sustainability throughout the university’s culture, campus and curriculum. Jane has won a number of UK wide awards for this work. A highlight of Jane’s career is her work, from 2007- 2011, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales where she proposed legislation to make sustainable development its central organising principle – the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act which subsequently came into law in April 2015. Her work saw her being recognised as the third most influential environmentalist in the UK for the Independent on Sunday in 2009.

Samantha Dieckmann is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, based at The University of Melbourne. Working with Jane Davidson and Multicultural Arts Victoria, Samantha's research explores the deployment of music for conciliation as it relates to personal, religious and political areas of conflict, and emotional community and empathy as resolution. This paper, ‘Restaging Fear: Affective Translation through Intercommunity Performing Arts’ was delivered at the ‘First International Conference on Contemporary and Historical Approaches to Emotions’ at the University of Wollongong on 5 December 2016. It considers Intercultural and interfaith performing arts practices as spaces that facilitate the galvanisation of emotions, and suggests that music and spoken word can be used to construct affective states and activate change.
