Nodes of Persisting Complexity with Professor Aled Jones and Nick King

Nick King and Professor Aled Jones from the Global Sustainability Institute discuss some of the consequences of pushing our planet and societies beyond their limits. How might the world look when the dust settles? The pair talk about their 2020 paper published in Sustainability, 'An Analysis of the Potential for Formation of ‘Nodes of Persisting Complexity’'. While it’s easy to jump straight to the end to find the winners and losers from Aled and Nick’s research, it’s important to focus on the system behaviors that they discuss and begin to recognize the long-term impacts. It might not grab the headlines, but it might just be the difference between a future we can manage and one that we can’t. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anxiety and The Ecological Crisis with Dr. Panu Pihkala

Anxiety about climate change is natural. It is, after all, a serious, global problem. But 'eco-anxiety' is notoriously difficult to characterize. Dr. Panu Pihkala is a leading interdisciplinary researcher on the topic from the University of Helsinki, and author of 'Anxiety and the Ecological Crisis: An Analysis of Eco and Climate Anxiety' in MDPI’s Sustainability journal. The article has since attracted more than 10,000 full-text reads and been cited at least 30 times. He explains what eco-anxiety is and why it can be both incredibly challenging but also provide opportunities for positive change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
