Podcasts about sustainable economy

What happens when the world no longer runs on money?This lyrical, thought-provoking episode explores a radical question: What if money didn't exist? Through a vivid, story-driven narrative, we dismantle the economic systems that shape our lives and imagine what might rise from the rubble — a world where creativity, empathy, and community replace currency.How would we define value without price?Could cooperation replace competition?Would art flourish if it wasn't made to sell?We examine the collapse of traditional economies, the evolution of power without profit, and the liberation of human creativity from market forces. From resource-based economies and time-based currency to gift cultures and sustainability credits — this episode offers blueprints for a new kind of wealth: measured not in digits, but in dignity and meaning.This isn't escapism.It's a design brief for the future.Support the showAttitude. Imagination. Execution. Create Without Frontiers.

When we think about climate action, it's easy to focus on what's happening in our own backyard. But the reality is, decisions made in big economies - especially in the US - have a huge impact on the rest of the world. With Donald Trump back for a second term as President of the United States of America, what does that mean for the environment? What policies could shift, and how might that affect global efforts to tackle the climate crisis? To help us make sense of it all, we speak to Rob Dietz, Program Director at the Post Carbon Institute. Rob, who is also the lead author of the bestselling book ‘Enough Is Enough: Building a Sustainable Economy in a World of Finite Resources' will share how these policies could shape the future, why it matters even for people outside the US, and what we can do to keep pushing for a more sustainable world.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we sit down with economist and author Professor Sir Dieter Helm to discuss his vision for a sustainable economy. Helm asks the question, "what would it look like to live in a sustainable economy?" and offers a framework for understanding and addressing climate change. He argues that the current narrative around net-zero is unrealistic and that a more balanced approach is needed, one that takes into account the realities of the global economy and the need for sustainable economic growth. Helm emphasises the importance of focusing on capital assets, rather than just flows, and of considering the intergenerational impacts of our actions. He also discusses the need for a new kind of economic thinking that takes into account the realities of the 21st century, rather than relying on outdated models from the 20th century. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the challenges and opportunities of achieving a sustainable future.

KCSB's Dick Flacks speaks with housing advocate Stanley Tzankov with CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) to recap the year in housing, and discuss efforts being made to help keep rents within the means of longtime residents and students.

This month we were honored to be joined by Toni Ruuska, who is a University Researcher and Adjunct Professor of Sustainable Economy at the University of Helsinki. His research focuses generally on alternatives to capitalism, agrarian political economy, and the skills of self-provisioning. In this captivating conversation, Toni lays out some of the issues with the perpetual growth model that is part and parcel of capitalist systems. Endless growth and accumulation are a nightmare; however, degrowth is not a silver bullet to solve the wicked problems present within the capitalist system. This is not to say that degrowth is not useful or hopeful, rather it is too early to really judge.

Guest: Vanessa Gray Much of what's written critically about the fossil fuel industry focuses on the effects of climate change, but there are significant human rights and human health costs as well that don't get as much coverage. And the effects of the industry on Indigenous communities receive even less attention. Vanessa Gray is the divestment campaign coordinator with Indigenous Climate Action. Growing up on the Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, Ontario's “Chemical Valley,” Gray witnessed first hand the serious effects unchecked industry can have on people's well-being, so much so that she built an app which allows members of her community to track the nearby polluting companies and even trace health symptoms back to specific chemicals these companies were using or manufacturing. On this episode of ‘Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,'Gray speaks with host Tim Nash about the push to divest from fossil fuels and the importance of reinvesting toward climate solutions. More information about “Chemical Valley” can be found here, and the Aamjiwnaang struggle here.

She is the founder and CEO of Bloom, a Toronto-based consulting firm that helps companies implement changes to improve productivity by making their workplaces more accommodating to all their staff.

Francis is also the host of Girlboss Radio.

Guest: Andria Barrett Canada's institutional banking system has been traditionally difficult to navigate for new immigrants to the country, leading many to utilize an informal, women-led savings collective based on the principle of mutual aid. Known as a "partner" in Jamaican culture, a "susu" in the Ghanaian community or a "hagbad" in Somali, a rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA) fosters a sense of community in many immigrant groups and opens doors to funding frequently not available elsewhere. In this episode of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,” host Tim Nash speaks with Andria Barrett, a consultant and speaker at The Diversity Agency, and former president of the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce, about how ROSCAs work and why they're spreading beyond immigrant networks. More information at The ROSCA Federation.

Guests: Chandra Ramadurai and Tim Stoate According to a recent study, the transportation sector worldwide is responsible for approximately 16 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, while building and infrastructure account for 21 percent.

Enter Chandra Ramadurai and Tim Stoate, the CEO and Vice President of Development respectively of Efficiency Capital, a spin-off from The Atmospheric Fund.

Guest: Melissa Shin Despite the rise in popularity of do-it-yourself investing, most people still find comfort working with a professional investment advisor. But how do you choose the advisor that's right for you? And how do you know that your advisor really “gets” responsible investing? In this episode of 'Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,' host Tim Nash speaks with journalist and editor Melissa Shin of Advisor's Edge and Investment Executive about how to find the right advisor and how to avoid those who are simply 'greenwashing' their investment opportunities.

In this episode of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,” Porritt talks about navigating that path between despair and hope and the work that his organization, Forum for the Future, is doing promoting the transition to a low-carbon economy.

GUEST: Lesley-Anne Scorgie, founder of MeVest For young people, investing can be daunting enough, but add the terms “ethical” or “sustainable” in front of it and it's enough to dissuade all but the most diligent first-time investors. Fortunately, personal finance guru Lesley-Anne Scorgie has a few tips and tricks for new investors to build their portfolios while not compromising their values. As the founder of MeVest, a financial educational company providing money coaching for Canadians, Scorgie has accumulated a wealth of valuable information tailored for new investors. In this episode of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,” Scorgie recounts buying her first bond as a 10 year old with money she earned babysitting as well as navigating sketchy stock tips as a first-year university student, all while determining how to best keep her portfolio green.

Kate Raworth is a renegade economist focused on making economics fit for 21st century realities. Senior Associate at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute, she is the creator of the Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries, and co-founder of Doughnut Economics Action Lab.Kate joins me to discuss Doughnut Economics, her radical theory of a regenerative and distributive economics model which protects both planet and citizens. This is an economy which prioritises well-being, rejects the market principles and profit-maximisation, and enables the principles of community and creativity to flourish.We discuss the fallacy of growth and neoliberalism, the extractivism of “developed” nations, long-termism vs short-termism, and the principles of regeneration and distribution. Kate also shares success stories from the communities and local governments implementing the doughnut model.© Rachel Donald Get full access to Planet: Critical at www.planetcritical.com/subscribe

GUEST: Alex Edmans, professor of finance at the London Business School Welcome to Season Two of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy!” The guest to kick off our sophomore season is Dr. Alex Edmans, professor of finance at the London Business School, noted TED speaker and author of “Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit.” In this wide-ranging interview, Edmans expands on the book's opening sentence, “Capitalism is in crisis,” where he explains that the system may work well for corporations, but doesn't always trickle down to individuals — or the planet. Instead, Edmans believes that “growing the pie” does not necessarily exclusively mean increasing the profits, but enhancing social value as well. And if that's the case, does that change the commonly-accepted definition of environmental, social and governance, or ESG?

The inflation Reduction Act is being heralded by many environmental groups as a major victory in the fight against global warming. But the bill has provoked criticism that it funds harmful false solutions and that environmental justice organizations, communities that they represent, and their concerns were ignored as the $360 billion deal was made. In this episode of Breaking green, we will talk with Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright. Anthony publicly resigned from the board of Evergreen Action, a group whose stated mission is to build an all out national mobilization to defeat the climate crisis. In his notice of resignation, Anthony noted Evergreen Action's failure to properly involve or communicate with environmental justice communities during critical phases of creating and passing the Inflation Reduction Act. He says that those left out of the process by the bigger, largely white driven environmental groups are those that will be most directly impacted by the fossil fuel false solutions increased mining and other extractive provisions contained in the bill. Anthony serves as the Director of Environmental Justice for the group New York Lawyers for the Public Interest. He also served as the policy coordinator and Green New Deal policy lead at the Climate Justice Alliance. Anthony also led the effort to make the former Colorado Health Insurance Cooperative, the first health insurance provider in the state's history to remove transgender exclusions in 2012. He worked as a policy advisor for Senator Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign in 2020, as well as Senator Bernie Sanders presidential campaigns of 2016 and 2020. He also serves on the board of directors of France, the Earth, the Backbone Campaign, and the Center for Sustainable Economy.

(This full conversation is from the episode 'Community Wealth Building: An Economic Reset' released June 13th, 2022) Low wages, precarious jobs, shuttered Main Streets and bleak futures — do towns have a way out of poverty that doesn't involve begging and bribing outside employers to invest? From Cleveland, Ohio to Preston, England and Scotland, some local governments are experimenting with investing public resources locally in community-held businesses, and public health. They're calling this approach Community Wealth Building, and it's gaining traction around the world. Most recently, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has included money for Community Wealth Building in the Biden Administration's National Strategic Plan. In today's episode, we explore the spreading of Community Wealth Building and its impact on the well-being of individuals and communities so far. How are these models working where others have failed, and is now the time to take Community Wealth Building to a whole new scale?Guests:Ted Howard: Co-founder & President, The Democracy CollaborativeIndia Pierce Lee: Senior Vice President, Program at the Cleveland FoundationNeil McInroy: Advisor of Community Wealth Building, Scottish GovernmentFull episode notes including related articles and LFShow episodes to watch and/or listen to are posted at https://Patreon.com/theLFShow.

Creative industries offer the potential for going global with local flavor, unlike any other scalable businesses that are alike everywhere you go says Alice Loy, a co-founder of the world's first accelerator for creatives called Creative Startups. Alice argues that we need a new economy based on new models of investing and she says that creatives need to be a part of that conversation because they have a crucial role in combining community and culture. We also discuss the good questions to ask and the need for ambiguity as a way to stimulate entrepreneurship.LINKS“Getting Things Done” by David Allen

Here at Mountain Rose Herbs, sustainability is the only business we know. In addition to sustainability, organic agriculture and ethical harvesting practices have always been at the forefront of our decision-making. As many plants are increasingly under pressure from climate change, habitat loss, over harvesting, and more, we look to shed more light on the topic of Endangered Plants. Susan Leopold's lecture on The Work of the United Plant Savers: Why Sustainable Herb Sourcing Matters comes from our Free Herbalism Project archive. It was recorded live in Eugene, Oregon on October 9, 2016. Although years have passed since this lecture, the topic remains vitally relevant.
