Podcasts about rome the limits

Saying goodbye is always bittersweet... especially when you're leaving not just a good friend, but also a beloved city. Today is the final chapter in our "Summer in Rome" series—we hoped you enjoyed listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it—and we muse on time, and how our perception of it is able to speed up and slow down depending on what we are doing. For example, how is it possible that Katy's life-changing time living in Rome took up less than one year, while the time since then—that has seemed to pass in a flash—is nearly ten years! ------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.

Mit den McKinsey-Partnern Timo Kamp und Stefan Kemmer diskutieren wir in dieser Folge ausführlich die Auswirkungen von ESG auf aktuelle und zukünftige Restrukturierungen. Wir schauen auf den Urknall der Nachhaltigkeit im Jahr 1972 und den breiten Druck der gesellschaftlichen Debatte auf Unternehmensentscheider aller Ebenen. Stefan und Timo erläutern die Entwicklungen auf der Investorenseite und verdeutlichen den Umfang der bereits stattfindenden Verschiebung zu „grünen“ Investitionen. Wie verhält es sich mit den Bewertungskriterien für „braune“ und „grüne“ Unternehmen? Außerdem klären wir die verschiedenen Dimensionen die eine ESG-konforme Unternehmens(neu)ausrichtung beinhalten kann. An konkreten Beispielen zeigen Timo und Stefan, dass bereits heute ESG-Themen in Restrukturierungen eine Rolle spielen.

We could use some good news. According to the four scholars who wrote A Finer Future, we are already experiencing some of the dramatic changes our system must undertake in order for our planet to meet the needs of future generations. This episode features a conversation with L. Hunter Lovins about the wellbeing economy and how sustainable behavior makes good business sense. Interestingly, this book grew out of a homework assignment from the King of Bhutan. Please think of us in your year-end giving. GrowthBusters is a non-profit project funded by YOU. DONATE HERE Hunter Lovins is President and Founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions. She co-founded the Rocky Mountain Institute, and co-authored (with Paul Hawken and Amory Lovins) the landmark book, Natural Capitalism. Lovins consults on sustainability for corporate giants and world leaders. She also finds time to serve as professor of sustainable business at Bard MBA. This conversation was recorded in February of 2019, with introduction and close recorded in December of 2019.   LINKS: A Finer Future – book, blog, resources Human and Nature Dynamics (HANDY): Modeling Inequality and Use of Resources in the Collapse or Sustainability of Societies - Study Wellbeing Economy Alliance Capital Institute Club of Rome The Limits to Growth The Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update A Finer Future report for/by Club of Rome Happy Planet Index Global Alliance for Banking on Values Business End of Climate Change - Study Green Illusions by Ozzie Zehner Planet of the Humans - film Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter   Subscribe (free) so you don't miss an episode:

If the same climatic patterns, cyclic warming and cooling, that occurred over the past 500 years continue, we can expect several decades of moderate to severe global cooling."

Both GCMs underestimated the surface LW and SW CRF and predicted near-zero SW CRE when the measured values were substantially larger (~70 W m−2 maximum)." (http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-11-00072.1?af=R) "These findings, together with the missing orbital signature in published dendrochronological records, suggest that large-scale near-surface air-temperature reconstructions relying on tree-ring data may underestimate pre-instrumental temperatures including warmth during Medieval and Roman times."
