Welcome to the Plant-Based Canada Podcast! In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Amar Lalia to discuss the upcoming EAT-Lancet Commission 2.0 report on the planetary health diet. We'll explore key topics including food systems, justice, and environmental impacts, all set to be unveiled in Fall 2025.Dr. Laila is a postdoctoral fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden, and the University of Guelph, Canada. Amar completed his PhD at the University of Guelph, where he explored the connection between food literacy and food waste among Canadian families with young children, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Amar is passionate about food systems justice and his goal is to contribute to just and sustainable food system transformation through improvements in food environments so that they are healthy and sustainable for everyone.Resources:EAT-Lancet CommissionA comment paper in the Lancet referring to the EL2 commission's focus on justiceHigh Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition reportsFAO's State of food security and nutritionFood System Economics Commission (to provide exact numbers referred to in the episode discussion):The Food System Economics Commission estimates the hidden costs of global food systems at approximately $15 trillion USD per year. However, the net benefits of transforming the food system are valued between $5 to $10 trillion USD annually, which is equivalent to 4-8% of global GDP (2020).In contrast, the cost of transforming the global food system is only 0.2-0.4% of global GDP, making it clearly affordable compared to the substantial global benefits—roughly $20-40 trillion USD.For full details, check out the Executive Summary.Dr. Amar Laila's Socials:ResearchGateORCIDLinkedInPlant-Based Canada's Socials:Instagram (@plantbasedcanadaorg)FacebookWebsite (https://www.plantbasedcanada.org/)X / Twitter @PBC_orgBonus PromotionCheck out University of Guelph's online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate.

Med Johan Rockström och Jacob Wallenberg i ryggen har Lisen Schultz lyckats få höjdarna i näringslivet att lära sig mer om klimatet och de planetära gränserna. För att inte tappa konkurrenskraft inser företagen att de måste anpassa sig till den förändring som kommer att ske. Planen för den gröna omställningen ligger fast. Den dipp vi upplever nu är tillfällig, menar forskaren och vice chefen för Stockholm Resilience Centre. Nu har hon också fått med sig de fackliga ledarna i Sverige.
Kan AI hjälpa oss att lösa klimatkrisen eller blir AI ett energislukande monster? Flera verktyg tas fram nu, men kan motverkas av AI-driven desinformation. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Artificiell intelligens är ett kraftfullt verktyg med potential att skynda på en fossilfri omställning. Men AI-genererad spridning av desinformation kan också göra det svårare att rädda livet på vår planet.

We live in the age of technology…in the blink of an eye, the Internet and social media have created new opportunities, jobs, and possibilities for connection. But they have also fuelled polarization, persecution, and real-world violence. Artificial intelligence, or AI, promises to turbocharge this revolution. But many questions remain unanswered by the advocates of these new technologies. Can we afford to let AI use infinite amounts of energy? Is it possible to create planetary responsible AI, or is that just a pipe dream? And if the need arises, how can we resist these dark machines?Image credit: This image was AI-generated and does not depict real events.Featured guest:Victor Galaz is an academic and author whose expertise lies at the intersection of governance, climate and technology. He is an Associate Professor in Political Science at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and a Program Director at the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics.

Korallreven är inte bara viktiga för havens djur och organismer. Hundratals miljoner människor är beroende av dem för sin försörjning. Forskaren Fredrik Moberg har skrivit en ny bok om koraller. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Tillsammans med forskaren Fredrik Moberg dyker vi ner till världens färgglada korallrev. Vi hör om hur dom fungerar, och hur dom låter! Och om varför de är så viktiga inte bara för alla de färgglada djur och andra organismer som har korallreven som barnkammare och hem. Hundratals miljoner människor är beroende av korallreven för sin försörjning, men nu hotas de kanske mer än någonsin bland annat av klimatförändringarna. Fredrik Moberg som nu ger ut boken ”Korallernas planet” berättar om sin fascination för dessa undervattensvärldar och om hur han ser på deras framtid.Det finns fortfarande ungefär hundra gånger fler koraller än människor på vår planet. Men vi har blivit dubbelt så många de senaste 40 åren, och korallerna har blivit hälften så många under samma tid. Enligt FN:s klimatpanel IPCC förväntas 99 procent av världens korallrev att dö om den globala medeltemperaturen höjs med två grader.Medverkande: Fredrik Moberg, doktor i korallrevsekologi, forskare och kommunikatör på Stockholm Resilience Centre vid Stockholms universitet, och verksam inom den icke vinstdrivande organisationen AlbaecoReporter: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sverigesradio.seProducent: Lena Nordlundlena.nordlund@sverigesradio.se
Today, I am joined by Dr. Sailesh Rao of Climate Healers. Dr. Rao has over three decades of professional experience and is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers, a non-profit dedicated towards healing the Earth's climate. A systems specialist with a Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, Dr. Rao worked on the internet communications infrastructure for twenty years after graduation. During this period, he blazed the trail for high speed signal processing chips and technologies for High Definition Television, real-time video communications and the transformation of early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections, while accelerating their speeds ten-fold. Today, over a billion internet connections deploy the communications protocol that he designed. He is the author of 22 peer-reviewed technical papers, 50 standards contributions, 10 US patents and 3 Canadian patents. In 2006, he switched careers and became deeply immersed, full time, in solving the environmental crises affecting humanity. Dr. Rao is the author of four books, Carbon Dharma: The Occupation of Butterflies, Carbon Yoga: The Vegan Metamorphosis, Animal Agriculture is Immoral and The Pinky Promise, and an Executive Producer of several documentaries, The Human Experiment (2013), Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014), What The Health (2017), A Prayer for Compassion (2019), They're Trying to Kill Us (2021), The End of Medicine (2022), The Land of Ahimsa (2022), Animals – A Parallel History (est. 2023) and Milked (2022). His work is featured in the award winning film, Countdown to Year Zero produced by Jane Velez-Mitchell. Dr. Rao is a Human, Earth and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist, husband, dad and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather. He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya Rainy Rao, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026, so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity. Along with Kimaya, Dr. Rao was the co-recipient of the inaugural Homo Ahimsa award from the Interfaith Vegan Coalition in 2021. He has formally taken the Ubuntu pledge to become Homo Ahimsa.

Världens korallrev drabbas just nu av en ny, global våg av förödande blekning, till följd av de höga havstemperaturerna, kanske den värsta korallblekningen någonsin. Och korallreven är inte bara vackra utan också avgörande för den biologiska mångfalden och många miljoner människors försörjning. Klimatutsläppen måste ner om korallreven ska ha chans att överleva säger experter, samtidigt som forskare desperat söker efter metoder för att hjälpa korallreven hålla ut.

The goal of this series is to provide useful information for consumers regarding PFAS, specifically within the outdoor industry, but also for those of us working in the industry. I learned from every single person that I interviewed and talked to about the topic of PFAS, and one of the patterns I noticed during production was that most of the European brands like Jack Wolfskin, Fjallraven, and Houdini Sportswear were early adopters of phasing PFAS out of their products. As early as 2009, some of these brands had already begun or, at the very least, made the decision to remove harmful chemicals from their product line. This begs the question, what took the rest of the industry so long to catch up when there were several examples of success just across the ocean?

In our new three-part series, we're sharing three of the most popular articles written by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's editorial team. In today's episode, we explore how a circular economy can keep us stay within the nine planetary boundaries set out by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, such as climate change, novel entities (otherwise known as pollution) and ocean acidification.Read the full article
Sustainability science, which includes conservation biology and various other environmental studies, is not a “hard science” like physics or mathematics. Nevertheless, one might expect it to be reasonably independent of political affiliation. But is this the case? If not, what is the problem with leaning too far in one political direction, especially if that direction is left and generally considered to be “pro environment”? If it is a problem, what can we do about it?Örjan Bodin is a sustainability scientist at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, who has thought a lot about this topic and published a recent paper on it. Örjan is quick to point out that he has not formally studied political polarization. However, with decades of research experience in sustainability science, he provides some compelling reasons why we should pay attention to this overlooked but potentially highly consequential issue.Links to resourcesHas sustainability science turned left? - Örjan's article in the journal, Sustainability Science.Visit www.case4conservation.com
Today, we are in Sweden, and we speak with Carolin Seiferth - a PhD student at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, where she does research on the island of Öland. Carolin combines scientific research with music to raise awareness about sustainability issues around the Baltic Sea. In this way, she inspires the audience to take action to address challenges related to a changing climate. Carolin shares some insights with us about her research and the creative production that led to the musical piece “Dialogues” as part of the Baltic Sea Festival Science Lab. We talked about her creative and dialogue-based approach with local actors in different workshops and how she transformed the results of her investigation into a poem that was a central part of the musical composition. We reflect on the different sound qualities of rainfall and her curiosity to explore other ways of combining art-based approaches with scientific research in the future to create opportunities for engaging with sustainability questions on a much deeper level.

A community of Earth System scientists at the Stockholm Resilience Centre asked a powerful question: How do we define a safe operating space for humanity with all that is currently known about the Earth's various systems? They determined that there are there are nine critical thresholds that together define a safe operating space for humanity: biosphere integrity, climate change, land-system change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorus, ocean acidification, atmospheric aerosol loading, stratospheric ozone depletion, and one other catch-all category for unimagined risks. If we cross any one of these thresholds, it could be Game Over for humanity. And by some estimates, we have already crossed four of them. Enter Joe Brewer. He has written a book called The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth that addresses the intentional application of knowledge and tools to create solutions for regenerating living systems, feasible methods for getting all nine boundary dynamics back within acceptable limits. Joe does admit this is a gargantuan task and one that will require working through inner grief and trauma while experiencing the already occurring effects of planetary collapse. Enter Bill Pfeiffer (Sky Otter), a dear friend, who as much as anyone I know, is doing something about changing our inner attitude about how to engage with the Earth, to engage with wildness, to live an ecstatic life in harmony and balance with all there is. His method for enacting change has been to design Wild Earth Intensives that bring people into sacred community and provide a microcosm for a future sustainable society. I wanted to bring these two guests together to represent both the outer and inner solutions for the seemingly intractable ecological challenges we now face. Join us as we explore "Restoring Health to Our Planet" on the Circle for Original Thinking podcast.

Det går att slå fast tydliga gränser för hur mycket miljöpåverkan av olika slag som livet på jorden tål, och att sedan konstatera att vi redan står på fel sida av dom flesta av dom här så kallade planetära gränserna. Det menar forskare i en ny rapport i veckan. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är Johan Rockström och hans kolleger som har lanserat begreppet ”planetära gränser” eller ”planetary boundaries” som det heter på engelska. Det skedde 2009, och nu publicerar de en ny studie som visar att sex av de nio gränserna är passerade. Men det går att ta ett steg tillbaka över gränsen, som skedde i fråga om ozonlagret på 1990-talet. Hur fungerar dessa gränser, vilken nytta kan de göra och vad finns det för invändningar mot idén med de planetära gränserna?

Nu är det på allvar dags för den odlade torsken. Det kommer sådana signaler från det stora fiskodlingslandet i väster. De norska torskarna har fått en ny mentalitet så att de lämpar sig bättre för ett liv i fångenskap, och producerar större filéer. Men lax och torsk skiljer sig åt på många sätt och torskodling ställer nya krav. En stor utmaning har varit att få torskarna att klara att växa i fångenskap. Nu, efter flera generationers avel, har de norska torskarna på avelsstationen i Tromsö har fått något av en ny lugnare mentalitet, så att de nästan framstår som tama, och dessutom levererar större filéer. Norge är sedan länge världsledande på den lönsamma laxodlingen, men kritiker lyfter risker med övergödning, spridning av sjukdomar och parasiter och risk att odlingsfiskar med tamdjursegenskaper rymmer och fortplantar sig med vild fisk. Nu är debatten i Norge även hård mellan förespråkare och motståndare till den expanderande torskodlingen. Men kanske kan torskodlingen ta en annan väg, säger Öyvind Hansen som leder Nofimas avelsstation i Tromsö.Programmet är en repris från 6 februari 2023.Medverkande: Öyvind Hansen, ansvarig för arbetet vid Nofimas torskavelsstation Tromsö, Ellen Sofie Grefsrud, forskare om risker med fiskodling på Havforskningsinstituttet i Bergen; Max Troell, systemekolog Beijerinstitutet, Stockholm Resilience Centre.Reporter: Gustaf Klaringustaf.klarin@sr.seProducent: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.se
Planes and ships from the US and Canada are searching a remote area of the North Atlantic for a submersible that went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, more than 24 hours ago. The US Coast Guard said last night that the sub could have around seventy hours of oxygen left, and that officials were doing everything they could to rescue those missing. A pilot and four passengers - one of them the founder of Ocean Gate Stockton Rush - are on board the vessel, which can reach depths of 13-thousand feet. Mishal heard from Dr Robert Blasiak an ocean researcher at Stockholm Resilience Centre about the Titan submersible craft and from Simon Platts who journeyed in the craft while directing an episode of the BBC's 'Travel Show' last year.

Various global initiatives have emerged to try to address the degradation of the living world, but despite decades of implementation we've had limited success at changing that trajectory. Why? Dr Niak Koh is a sustainability scientist based at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University. In some of her recent work, Niak has focused on what biodiversity agreements can learn from the implementation of international human rights agreements, which have historically been more successful. So, what are the secrets behind better international agreements? Hosted by Sophus zu Ermgassen. Edited by Aidan Knox.
Welcome to the 137. episode of Urbcast, in which we talk about: Reduction Roadmap: how to achieve ambitious emission reduction targets?
Det brådskar - det är FNs klimatpanels budskap. Mänskligheten måste halvera utsläppen på sju år. Max 1,5-grader kan nås men det är bråttom. Redan med 1,1 graders nuvarande uppvärmning är de dåliga konsekvenserna kännbara. Klotet diskuterar senaste IPCC-rapporten med polarforskaren och meteorologiprofessorn Michael Tjernström och professor Line Gordon som är chef för Stockholm Resilience Centre och professor i hållbar utveckling.Det här årtiondet blir avgörande för att kunna begränsa uppvärmningen till 1,5 grader och de åtgärder som görs nu kan få konsekvenser för den närmaste framtiden även tusen år framåt. Det konstaterar FNs klimatpanel IPCC i den nya stora rapporten, "syntesrapporten" som sammanfattar de senaste årens rapporter.Fem viktiga slutsatser i rapporten:1. Det är människans utsläpp av växthusgaser, från förbränning av fossila bränslen, som är orsaken till den globala uppvärmningen, som nu är 1,1 grader jämfört med förindustriell tid. Det är otvetydigt enligt IPCC. 2. Konsekvenserna är redan här med omfattande förändringar i klimatet, i haven, på polarisar och glaciärer och de livsmiljöer vi lever i. Redan nu har det lett till extremväder och andra negativa effekter runt om på Jorden. Effekterna är värre än vad IPCC angav i den förra rapporten, som kom för nio år sen. Det är ett hot mot människans och jordens hälsa. De utsläpp som redan skett innebär en halv meters havsnivåhöjning globalt, att natur och människor drabbats och att det har blivit svårare med mat- och vattenförsörjning i delar av världen. Värst drabbas fattiga länder i syd.3. Det är troligt att uppvärmningen kommer att överstiga 1,5 grader det här århundradet eftersom ländernas åtgärder är otillräckliga. Utsläppen måste börja vända omedelbart och gå ned till noll år 2050. Men utsläppen ökar fortfarande. Och den mängd koldioxid som kan släppas ut för att klara 1,5 grader, koldioxidbudgeten, är slut det här årtiondet om utsläppen fortsätter som nu. Nuvarande utvinning av fossila bränslen spräcker chansen att klara 1,5 grader. Fortfarande satsas mer på utvinning av fossila bränslen än på klimatåtgärder och klimatanpassning. 4. Det går fortfarande att begränsa uppvärmningen till 1,5 grader. Men fönstret stängs snabbt för att säkra en hållbar framtid för alla. Antagligen kommer uppvärmningen att överstiga det, men kan med åtgärder som minskar mängden koldioxid i atmosfären sänkas igen. Vad vi gör det här årtiondet får konsekvenser för 1000-tals år framåt. Varje decimal mindre gör stor skillnad i hur allvarliga konsekvenserna blir både i närtid och på längre sikt.5. Lösningarna finns. Både för att anpassa oss till det förändrade klimatet och åtgärder för att begränsa uppvärmningen. Men det krävs omfattande och snabba åtgärder och tempot måste öka. Det handlar om att kraftigt minska användningen av fossila bränslen. De åtgärder som är billigast och har störst potential till utsläppsminskningar är mer sol- och vindenergi och att minska metanutsläppen från utvinningen och produktionen av fossila bränslen. Naturliga åtgärder har också stor potential. Det handlar om att begränsa exploateringen av naturliga ekosystem, öka kolinlagringen i jordbruk och restaurera ekosystem, som våtmarker och mangrove till exempel och att hindra avskogning och även återbeskoga. Andra billiga åtgärder beteendeförändringar: byta till elfordon, mer kollektivtrafik och cykling och mer hushållningen av energi, energieffektivitet.Medverkande:Michael Tjernström, polarforskare och professor i gränsskiktsmeteorologi vid Stockholms universitet.

Does a million years of natural innovation beat a Google sprint? Prepare to have your mind bent. Biomimicry might be the most interesting subject that you have not heard of. Biomimicry is a design approach that seeks to imitate the strategies and processes found in nature to solve human problems. Learn about concrete examples of how we can tap into nature's wisdom to find innovative, sustainable solutions to human challenges. After this, you will reimagine your relationship with the natural world. Guest: Sarah Juhl Gregerson, an entrepreneur and associate of The Stockholm Resilience Centre. Sarah is a leading expert and practitioner of Biomimicry.Learning points: •By viewing nature as a partner rather than an asset, we can unlock many secrets to innovation which can help us solve human made problems. •You will get practical examples, like how the Japanese railway system used the connective ability of slime molds, on a miniature map of Japan, to find the most efficient ways to connect thousands of train lines and stations, in a way the human mind could–never imagine. •Or, by understanding how sunlight is evenly distributed into the forest, we could envision new, more efficient economical models as collectively, nature does not lose, nothing goes to waste•You will also hear why it makes sense to bring biologists to the innovation table. Reimagine is a podcast with host Babak Behrad, brought to you by Society Lab.
Today's topic is future of farming. Farming is a bedrock of our society and culture, and at the same time one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation. So, how we can feed the population of the world in the future sustainably is a subject I wanted to cover already for some time. But it was important to find an expert who can bring together theoretical knowledge and real business application and experience. I am very happy that Pádraic Flood agreed to join me for this conversation. He is currently team lead for crop genetics at Infarm, a vertical farming company. Before he joined Infarm, Pádraic served as a research scientist at Wageningen University, one of the world's top agricultural research institutions, where he also completed his Ph.D. Before that, Pádraic held an appointment at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research. Over the past decade, Pádraic has worked in universities using genetics to understand key scientific questions ranging from photosynthesis to how plants adapt to extreme environments. Pádraic is not only an excellent scientist, but deeply passionate about tackling the challenge of feeding the world without destroying the environment. In addition to breeding and improving crops currently cultivated by infarm, he is pursuing ways to make staple crops viable in indoor farming which, if successful, could free up vast areas of land for nature and biodiversity restoration and go a long way towards achieving food security. As farming as bedrock of our society we start with a look into our past. What is domestication and breeding? What are we eating today? Old species, e.g. maize are unrecognisable in the original form compared with our modern ones. Breeding was an intergenerational project of humanity. So, what is natural? Unnatural? Is unatural, what is created by humans — which seems to be a rather strange idea? Also, farming was independently discovered seven times around the world — what does that tell us? What is convergent evolution? Then we discuss the impacts of farming on nature and environment. How can we reduce the impact of farming while at the same time producing enough food for humanity. What are GMOs and how is genetic modification different from older breeding technologies? Then we talk about the 20th century. Were the Malthusian warning voices correct? How did Paul Ehrlichs “population bomb” play out and what did the green revolution with Norman Borlaugh achieve? “rising food production reduced the malnutrition rate from 2 in 3 people in 1950 to 1 in 11 by 2019. This impressive achievement is even more noteworthy if expressed in a way that accounts for the intervening large-scale increase of the global population, from about 2.5 billion people in 1950 to 7.7 billion in 2019. […] we could not harvest such abundance, and in such a highly predictable manner, without the still-rising inputs of fossil fuels and electricity.”, Vaclav Smil Modern technology and energy production managed to reduce the labor needed to produce a kilogram of grain by more than 98 percent between 1800 and 2020. “Growing the grain, milling it, and baking a 1-kilogram sourdough loaf thus requires an energy input equivalent of at least 250 milliliters of diesel fuel.” (150-500ml Diesel per kg tomatoes in Spain (unheated / heated) — ~ same amount like chicken), ibid Which role do agricultural chemicals role such as herbicides and fertilisers play? Agriculture is not only about carbon emissions. Purely looking at it through a “carbon lense” is misleading, more relevant seems the planetary boundaries framework. For instance the role of biodiversity, land use and other impacts are of huge importance. Land use is one of the major concerns, considering thet 50% of habitable land mass is used by agriculture. Carbon tunnel vision is a real issue today and leads to significant mistakes in politics and activism, as I have discussed in other podcast episodes already. Planetary Boundaries, J. Lokrantz/Azote based on Steffen et al. 2015 What about organic farming? It turns out, it is by far not such a good idea as often promoted. Pádraic explains what the problems are. One serious issue are externalities, where other nations pay the price for our “organic” greenwashing. One of the major challenges is to manage energy and matter flows better on a global level. As energy plays a significant role in agriculture we discuss the important role of nuclear energy in a green economy, escpecially considering land use in comparison with wind and solar energy. Risk perception is often not aligned with actual risks. As one recent example, we discuss the Sri Lanka organic farming disaster, food security and national security: “In the end, for most crops, organic farming is not net beneficial. It is actually worse for the environment than conventional food production. And people spend even extra money, thinking they do something good., when in many respects they probably are causing more harm.” Organic food has a large international lobby with a vested interest to promote a green narration, preserve the well functioning but misleading marketing claims, despite of the realities on the planet. On top of that, some organic farming practices leave the realm of rationality and incorporate a number of esoteric ideas that contribute nothing to the environment or to human health, such as biodynamic practices. “What is allowed in organic is not necessarily allowed because it is safer but just because we done it like that for a long time.” One example is copper sulfate or organic insectisides, as Pádraic explains in this episode. What we need going forward, is evidence based agriculture, not dogmatic organic / naturalistic ideas, that are stuck in the past and do more harm than good to nature and humanity. “Dogma is not adaptive” and “Silver bullets are only good for killing magical creatures” What about meat and what role has carneval to play here? Where is science and technology standing in terms of lab grown meat? Evidently, in some countries lab grown chicken nuggets are already a thing?! One of the major recent innovations seems to be precision fermentation, which could become one of the most exiting new tools in our future farming toolbelt. “Currently, we are eating our planet” Now, looking into the future: how could we achieve decoupling food prodcution from ecosystem destruction. How can we feed 9-11 billion people well without eating the planet and create food resilience along the way? Some practices we talk about are indoor farming precision fermentation lab meat biotechnology, GMO, Crispr/CAS Also “doing nothing has risks” Especially the new bio technologies, synthetic biology seems to offer a lot of opportunities for the future of farming, but also opens up significant new risks. We see a democratisation of bio-technology and synthetic biology — can this be a good thing? And finally I ask Pádraic: if young people would want to work in these important fields, what could they do instead of glueing themselves to paintings and bridges?

Global Warming is the biggest reckoning the human race has yet to encounter.As the United States is still caught in the throes of denial of climate change and “doom & gloom” reigns, there are groups that are trying to solve this problem. One of those groups is the Club of Rome. Building on their groundbreaking report “The Limits to Growth”, released in 1972, the Club has convened a new group to help humanity grow out of our fossil fuel addiction. Their new report “Earth4All” started as a vibrant collective of leading economic thinkers, scientists, and advocates, convened by The Club of Rome, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Norwegian Business School.With more and more people and organisations joining, Earth4All has become a platform to connect and amplify the chorus of voices that want to upgrade our economies. We are not starting from scratch. The momentum is growing. Communities and policy makers across the world are already changing the way we think about economics. Earth4All builds on the legacies of The Limits to Growth and the Planetary Boundaries frameworks. Science is at the heart of their work. They rethink capitalism and move beyond GDP for a safe, secure and prosperous future in the Anthropocene.To help us work our way through Earth4All, we are joined by the Club of Rome's Till Kellerhoff. Till is the Program Director of the Club of Rome and Coordinator & National Engagement Lead of the Earth4All initiative as well as contributing author of Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity. Before joining The Club of Rome, he studied Politics, Economics and International Relations at the University of Erfurt (Germany), the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Mexico) and the London School of Economics (UK). He is mostly working on themes around "Rethinking Economics" and concepts around societal wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries. You can follow Till on his Twitter @TKellerhoff and the Club of Rome on their twitter @ClubOfRome. About the Club of Rome: Most influential organizations begin with the meeting of a few like minds. In 1965, Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrialist, made a speech that proved inspirational to Alexander King, the Scottish Head of Science at the OECD. The two found that they shared a profound concern for the long-term future of humanity and the planet, what they termed the modern ‘predicament of mankind'.Three years later, King and Peccei convened a meeting of European scientists in Rome. Although this first attempt failed to achieve unity, a core group of like-minded thinkers emerged. Their goal: to advance three core ideas that still define the Club of Rome today: a global and a long-term perspective, and the concept of “problematique”, a cluster of intertwined global problems, be they economic, environmental, political or social.At the group's first major gathering in 1970, Jay Forrester, a systems professor at MIT, offered to use computer models he had developed to study the complex problems which concerned the group more rigorously. An international team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began a study of the implications of unbridled exponential growth. They examined the five basic factors that determine and, in their interactions, ultimately limit growth on this planet – population, agricultural production, non-renewable resource depletion, industrial output and pollution.In 1972, the Club's first major Report, The Limits to Growth was published. It sold millions of copies worldwide, creating media controversy and also impetus for the global sustainability movement. This call for objective, scientific assessment of the impact of humanity's behavior and use of resources, still defines the Club of Rome today. While Limits had many messages, it fundamentally confronted the unchallenged paradigm of continuous material growth and the pursuit of endless economic expansion. Fifty years later, there is no doubt that the ecological footprint of humanity substantially exceeds its natural limits every year. The concerns of the Club of Rome have not lost their relevance. Today, the Club continues to be at the forefront of challenging and controversial global issues. Propelled by a new mission and organisational structure, which today includes 35 National Associations, the Club of Rome has now published over 45 Reports. They continue to challenge established paradigms and advocate for policies that can practically address the many emergencies facing society and the planet today. The Club remains true to its historical intent, while it attempts to lay the foundations for long-term systemic shifts in global social, environmental and economic systems. In short, it is an established, respected, international think-tank positioned to face the core challenges of the 21st Century.The organization includes around 100 active full members with a full-time secretariat in Winterthur, Switzerland with a satellite office in Brussels, Belgium.Like and subscribe to us on Youtube for more fun and exclusive content!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuM080VqVCe0gAns9V9WK9wSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/00gCjGhq8qrAEkraZnMwGR?go=1&sp_cid=ce203d55369588581151ec13011b84ac&utm_source=embed_player_pGoogle Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmlrc21pbmQuY29tL2xpc3Rlbj9mb3JtYXQ9cnNz?Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/riks-mind-podcast/id1460215365Show Notes:The Club of Rome | Official Website Earth4All | Official WebsiteThe Club of Rome | TwitterThe Club of Rome | YoutubeTill Kellerhoff | TwitterTill Kellerhoff's Articles | The Club of RomeThe Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) | Official WebsiteThe Limits to Growth | The Club of RomeWhat the controversial 1972 ‘Limits to Growth' report got right: Our choices today shape future conditions for life on Earth by Matthew E.

The seas are getting crowded. As commercial use of the ocean accelerates exponentially and climate change impacts worsen, marine ecosystems and coastal communities are feeling unprecedented pressures. The ocean has been a source of food since the dawn of time, it facilitates our modern communication, transports our merchandise and is often perceived as a lawless, new economic frontier. This episode's guest, Jean-Baptiste Jouffray, who is a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, expands on the new ocean reality. He proposes that the ocean may not be as lawless as we think and that we need to ramp up investment and stewardship of the vast waters that are giving us so much.

Food insecurity, climate change and conflict are placing considerable pressure on the global food system. Inequality, access to land, access to nutrient-rich foods, and the loss of local food cultures and diversity are realities further amplified in the new risk landscape. These challenges are also playing out differently depending on the region you inhabit. In other words, the global south and the global north are both feeling the pressure, however, in disparate ways.This episode's guests Cibele Queiroz and Albert Norström discuss the challenges our global food systems face and explore ways through which we can move towards more resilient, sustainable and just food systems.

Droughts, storms or sea water rise – climate change takes its form almost always through a change in water. But water is more than just a destructive force, it is the bloodstream of the biosphere.In this episode Lan Wang Erlandsson, a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, shares with us how freshwater can make or break our ability to successfully combat climate change.

Biomimik eller biomimikry, som det också kallas, handlar om hur vi människor kan lära av naturens egna material och processer för att skapa mer hållbara produkter och system. Det kan handla om skalbaggar som utvinner vatten direkt ur luftens fuktighet eller om termitbon som kan ge oss mindre energikrävande luftkonditionering. Gäst är Fredrik Moberg, disputerad biolog som driver organisationen Albaeco som rådgivare och kommunikatör inom klimat och hållbarhet. Dessutom är han knuten till Stockholm Resilience Centre vid Stockholms Universitet.Programledare: Fritte FritzsonProducent: Ida WahlströmKlippning: Marcus TigerdraakeSignaturmelodi: Vacaciones - av Svantana i arrangemang av Daniel AldermarkGrafik: Jonas PikeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alltduvelatveta/Instagram: @alltduvelatveta / @frittefritzsonTwitter: @frittefritzsonHar du förslag på avsnitt eller experter: Gå in på www.fritte.se och leta dig fram till kontakt!Podden produceras av Blandade Budskap AB och presenteras i samarbete med AcastFoto Fredrik Moberg: Maria Rosenlöf Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Tusentals fåglar på Stora Karlsö kan ha blivit smittade av fågelinfluensan. Men än återstår mycket forskning för att se omfattningen och förstå om det är honorna som drabbats hårdast som är kvar längre på häckningsplats. De senaste veckorna har fåglar med vita bröst flutit i land på den västra kusten av Gotland. Även skarv, trut och ejder. En unik situation i Sverige, men också Europa att fågelinfluensan kommer under häckningsperioden. Risk finns för att den sprids till tamfåglar. Och i Europa innebär fågelinfluensan storpolitik om hur kommande vaccin ska se ut. Följd med på stranden Följ med på en inventering på de gotländska stränderna vid Kronvalls fiskeläge i Eksta och Kronholmens golfklubb i Västergarn. Det misstänkta viruset A/H5N1 går på nervcellerna och dödar fåglar, men för människor har det blivit mindre allvarligt. Måns Hjernquist, ordförande i Gotlands ornitologiska förening samt tillsyningsman vid Lilla Karlsö inventerar dagligen vad som händer på stränderna. I sändningen hör du också Karl Ståhl, statsepizootolog, Statens veterinärmedicinska anstalt, SVA , Olof Olsson, forskningsledare Baltic Sea Bird project på Stora Karlsö och strategisk rådgivare vid Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholms universitet, Agneta Karlsson-Norström, länsveterinär på Gotland samt Lotta Hofverberg, chef för smittbekämpningsenheten på Jordbruksverket.

Biomimikry (eller biomimetik) handlar om att lära av naturen för att främja mänskligheten på olika sätt, inte minst när det gäller att hushålla med resurser och energi. Fredrik Moberg är verksam som forskare och kommunikationsrådgivare vid Stockholm Resilience Centre samt delaktig i organisationen Albaeco. 2021 skrev han boken Den uppfinningsrika planeten, som handlar om just hur vi kan inspireras av processer i naturen.

Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planet is the title of George Monbiot's new book and an essential challenge that we explore in this Future of Food episode, with the help of George and three other guests committed to transforming our food system. As the current global food crisis continues to push more and more people to the brink of starvation, join us as we take a deep dive into the root causes of the crisis. Surface with a diverse and exciting range of solutions that could ensure we have a ‘glocal' diverse food system, and a paradigm shift in the way we produce protein that regenerates our planet and feeds our population. Our four contributors to this episode are: George Monbiot, celebrated author, activist and environmentalist; Dr Laura Pereira, Associate Professor at the Global Change Institute at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa and a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University in Sweden; Dr Ruchika Singh, Director of Sustainable Landscapes and Restoration at the WRI or World Resources Institute in India; and Josh Tetrick, Co-Founder and CEO of Just Eat Inc. You can find their short biographies and links to their work and media platforms below.

First episode in Season II *About the episode We begin our second season by arriving at the destination: how to reorientate our economic system. This journey will take you wide around the topic of degrowth and reconceptualize a tourism industry and its economic sentiments. We take a look at all the structures around the tourism industry and use our imagination to picture: how can the industry give more back than what it takes? Our guest for this episode is professor in economics with the specialization in degrowth Timothée Parrique, who holds a PhD in economics from the University of Clermont Auvergne in France and the Stockholm Resilience Centre from 2019 titled “The political economy of degrowth”. **Also, we are trying a different format for this episode: so the conversation is not divided to into two parts despite its length, in case you prefer me dividing up the conversations into parts let me know and I will keep that in mind for the following episodes of Season II.

Chemicals are everywhere today: in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.But did you know the production of chemical products has multiplied by 50 since 1950, and that it is expected to triple again by 2050? Meanwhile, the total mass of plastics on the planet is now more than double the mass of all living mammals, and around 80% of all plastics ever produced remain in the environment,These are some of the numbers that prompted the Stokholm Resilience Center to announce that we, humanity, have officially crosssed the 5th planetary boundary, the one on chemical pollution.Each of the 9 boundary has indicators, under which living conditions on Earth remain favorable and "safe" for humans. While this is a pretty big deal, it's been barely covered in mainstream media, just like every other climate and environmental news.In this episode, we discuss with Dr. Bethanie Carney Almroth, a professor of ecotoxicology and Patricia Villarrubia-Gómez, a PhD candidate at the Stockholm Resilience Centre about the planetary boundaries, the coverage of science in media, the influence of the chemical lobby and what policy makers should do to tackle chemical pollution.
Our economy is frequently defined as one of unpaid costs. (Think: Garret Hardin and the tragedy of the commons.) Nature or natural resources are considered either inexhaustible and/or the byproducts of their use, such as polluted air and degraded water quality, are externalized costs borne by society, i.e., no one. Our economic model perfectly well explains the climate crisis. Treating our atmosphere and our oceans as open sewers has resulted in both global warming and helps to explain the planet's ongoing and accelerating biological annihilation, or the sixth mass extinction. The field of ecological economics attempts to, in two words, internalize externalities. During this 30-minute interview Professor Costanza begins by briefly describing the field of ecological economics. The interview progresses to his discussion of the valuing nature, here costal wetlands, he explains common asset trusts, the development of more rational measures of economic development (beyond GDP) such as the Genuine Progress Indicator and of course provides comment regarding the climate crisis (including the use of motivational interviewing in defining climate goals). Robert Costanza is Professor of Ecological Economics at the Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP) at University College London (UCL). He is also currently a Senior Fellow at the Stockholm Resilience Centre in Stockholm, Sweden, and Honorary Professor at the Australian National University, an Affiliate Fellow at the Gund Institute at the University of Vermont, and a deTao Master of Ecological Economics at the deTao Masters Academy in Shanghai, China. Previously, he taught at the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University. He has also taught at Portland State University, was Gund Professor of Ecological Economics and Director of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont, prior still he was Director of the University of Maryland Institute for Ecological Economics and Professor at the University of Maryland's Center for Estuarine and Environmental Science at the Chesapeake Biological Lab. Professor Costanza is a Fellow in the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA) and the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in the UK, and is an Overseas Expert in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He is co-founder and past-president of the International Society for Ecological Economics and was founding chief editor of the society's journal Ecological Economics. He currently serves on the editorial board of ten other international academic journals. He is also founding co-editor in chief of Solutions a unique hybrid academic/popular journal and editor in chief of the Anthropocene Review. He currently serves on the editorial board of eight other international academic journals and is past president of the Intl. Society for Ecosystem Health.

In this episode, Hita, Maria and Dane were joined by Nanda Wijermans, a Researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. We talked about Nanda's journey towards interdisciplinary research, and then discussed the unique opportunities and challenges of working in an interdisciplinary environment, and how to design effective interdisciplinary environments. We ended by hearing about an epic fail. Nanda's website: https://www.nandawijermans.nl/ Dane's website: https://sustainability.asu.edu/person/dane-whittaker/
Since the start of 2021 we’ve seen a race - like an arms race - among companies to announce net zero emissions targets. Great, you might say. But do the leaders of those companies know how to achieve them? Think about it. The market for training and education is going to blow up in coming years. Who’s the reference in this field? Who’s been doing this for a long time, and basing it on the best science?I turned to Lisen Schultz who runs an executive education programme at the Stockholm Resilience Centre which is, without a doubt, a gold standard in this hot space.This is a CEO and Board-only programme. It draws on the legacy of the Centre’s pioneering work on the planetary boundaries and Lisen’s own links with Swedish business through the Pontus Schultz Foundation which she founded after her husband died tragically in a bicycle accident at the age of 40.Teaching sustainability is not easy. It is just such a vast canvas of inter-connections and almost, what I’d call a kind of mental pain to let go of the perform and measure mindset we were given at school.I’d like to really insist on why I think Lisen’s approach is unique.It is extremely rare for such a programme to be housed in academia but explicitly steering away from top down science-splaining.Lisen has a “meet you where you are” approach that is user-centric and designed to empower CEOs to lead change.She’s publishing a new book, co-authored with climate journalist Erica Treijs, called: “The Course: 10 Lessons in Sustainable Business”. It’s in Swedish, so if you’re a publisher and see a market for this in English, which I certainly do, then you should get in touch with Lisen right away!Enjoy the conversation.We talked about:2:24 Bringing signals from ecosystems into decision-making 3:15 Personal loss inspires a mission to connect business and sustainability8:02 Why sustainability is a team sport.9:06 Features of the learning journey12:27 How to design a programme that fits the reality of the CEO and challenges them13:28 Understanding the motivation for change: it’s always a mix of personal and professional22:16 Unlocking our intuitive knowledge about the importance of life and our connection to the web of life23:23 The importance for early movers to learn how to shift the bigger context to create a space for new business values to take root.24:28 Thoughts on the theory of change.

Just for a change powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
In episode 7 of the ‘Just for a Change' podcast we take a look inward and hear from the team at the Bertha Centre as they reflect on 2020 and also look ahead to 2021. It's no secret that 2020 has been an immensely challenging year around the globe. It has required a lot of grit and determination from everyone on the Bertha team and despite the challenges, the Bertha Centre has had a number of incredible successes across the six portfolios. Podcast host, Kentse Radebe, hosts a conversation with fellow Bertha team members Fergus Turner and Louise Albertyn to chat through what the Education Innovation, Bertha Scholars and Social Systems Justice Innovations portfolios have been working on this year. It's been a jam-packed year and the necessity to pivot and think innovatively have kept everyone on their toes. Take a listen and be inspired by what these portfolios have achieved this year - from hosting an incredibly successful webinar on racism in schools to the SSJI delivering the ‘Transforming Change' programme in partnership with the Swedish Institute & the Stockholm Resilience Centre. In the second segment of this podcast, we get to hear from Ntombini Marrengane, the new senior manager at the Bertha Centre. She shares some of her highlights of 2020 and hosts a conversation with Simnikiwe Xanga, Stephen McCullum and Katusha de Villiers about what lies ahead for the Youth, Innovative Finance and Health Systems Innovation portfolios in 2021, as well as what lies ahead for the Centre in general. One thing is for certain, the Bertha Centre is looking forward to another year of incredible work and collaboration in 2021. If you're looking to change the way you change the world - this podcast is for you.
