About this Podcast:
We know we can’t stay on the current path. We roughly know what needs to change, but we don’t yet know how. This podcast takes that question as its starting point. We’ll talk with people from business, politics, academia, and activism who can help us see new ways forward, people whose experience, perspective, and courage might help us answer that question. With this podcast, we want to begin mapping out and inspire others to map out, strategies and action plans for greater speed and force in the transition toward sustainable development. We ask ourselves, and our guests, the same question: What is to be done? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
