Living well within limits - Julia Steinberger

Ecological economics is about respecting ecological boundaries in human activities. Many argue that this simply cannot be done as humans always strive for more. However, with a different perspective on what living well means, energy and resource use could decrease to fit into Earth’s carrying capacity. That requires a change in mentality as well as a deeper understanding of justice. This episode’s guest is Julia Steinberger, and we talk about what it would mean for humankind to live well while respecting the nature's limited resources.

The world is on fire. We have to radically and rapidly transform every aspect of society to stay within 1.5 degrees of global warming. How is this possible? And how do we do this in a way that is fair? Ecological economists integrating ecological and critical social perspectives have long been working on ideas to bring about just sustainability transformations. This podcast aims at communicating these ideas in order to open them to critical discussion, from global problems to people’s everyday lives.
