Overview

Live show
Fifty years ago, a team of MIT scientists identified that human decision-making was luring our entire population slowly but inexorably toward environmental disaster. Through the first ever computer model of the world, they showed that the relentless pursuit of growth and total disregard for the physical capacity of our planet would lead – in the early part of the 21st century – to declining quality of life and accelerating disruption of our one and only ecosystem.

As with an irresponsible driver who ignores the signs warning of black ice and crashes to a grizzly death off the side of a mountain, it’s not much good saying “I told you so”. Yet, five decades later, here we are. Fish harvests from the oceans flatlined around 1996, almost exactly as predicted by those scientists in their book Limits to Growth. Global warming has accelerated, fueling larger and more expensive environmental disasters year by year. Standards of living are indeed now falling, social tension is rising significantly, and harbingers of societal breakdown are appearing on every continent bar Antarctica.


With this as context, we'll explore questions such as:
  • What progress can we expect from COP and UNEP in 2022?
  • What steps can we take to increase climate action in the public and private sectors?
  • How can we best support investment in the Global South?

We're delighted to welcome special guests Alex Rafalowicz and Claudia Campero-Arena from the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty Organisation. 

We'll also be joined by our regular Green Jobs team:
  • Dr. Fadhel Kaboub, Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University, and President of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity
  • Amir Khaleghi, PhD candidate in Economics, University of Missouri at Kansas City

We'll also be joined by your regular co-hosts Paul Herman (HIP Investor) and Nigel Lake (Pottinger).
​
As always, this episode will be live and interactive, with a particular focus on practical actions that businesses, governments and individuals can take -- and the economic and ecological benefits of doing so.
