Brave old world- the launch of EBRD Transition Report 2025-26

Is demographic change a bigger global challenge than climate change? And is population ageing, in fact, one of humanity’s greatest successes? In this episode, listen back to the launch of the EBRD’s Transition Report 2025-26: Brave Old World. Moderated by Richard Porter, EBRD Managing Director of Communications, the discussion brings together a distinguished panel: Professor Sarah Harper CBE – Clore Professor of Gerontology, University of Oxford; Director, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing Eghosa Omoigui – Founder and Managing General Partner, EchoVC Partners Dr Nicholas Eberstadt – Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy, American Enterprise Institute Beata Javorcik – EBRD Chief Economist Brave Old World explores how demographic shifts are reshaping economies—from rapidly ageing societies to countries with youthful, fast-growing populations. The report examines declining fertility rates, the economic consequences of ageing, and the policy tools that can help countries adapt. These include extending productive working lives, accelerating automation, and enabling labour mobility. The discussion also delves into how artificial intelligence, migration policy, and evolving societal values interact with demographic change across the EBRD regions and beyond.

Cities, Pigeons and Making Peace with Nature

Are cities doomed to be grey and overheated, or can nature help them thrive? In the final episode of this season of Nature Unheard, Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley explore how nature-based solutions are transforming urban life. From persistent pigeons at London tube stations to flood-prone rivers in Moldova, and from mangrove forests in the Philippines to goose festivals in Hungary, this episode shows how working with nature can cool our streets, protect our homes and reconnect us with the wild, even in the middle of the city. Featuring Ingrid Coetzee of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, and a special soundbite from the EBRD’s work on the River Bîc in Chișinău, supported by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) as part of our Green Cities programme.

What is the future for our cities?

Rate, review and subscribe to our podcast Pocket Dilemmas Does the uncontrolled growth of large cities endanger smart and sustainable living? From adaptive traffic lights to wooden skyscrapers, what is the future for our cities? Will they look more like an urban paradise or suburban sprawl stretching as far as the eye can see? Could algorithms help us adopt the right policies to control and manage the growth of our urban spaces? Join Jonathan Charles in conversation with Jacques Bughin, Director of the McKinsey Global Institute, and our own Tara Shirvani to discuss what key factors make cities fit for living, working and growing. Ivan Pazos, a Spanish architect and the lead author of an award-winning study predicting cities’ expansion, also joined us to explain how disruptive technologies can help make them grow in a sustainable way.
