  • Summary

  • In this podcast, Alice and Jana, learn from people who are working and thinking about sustainability issues everyday. They ask policy makers, activists, professors, economists, artists, lawyers (and more) question such as: Can engineering and technology solve the climate problem? Is economic growth compatible with a sustainable world? How can climate activists keep their momentum going after covid19? Can individual people make an impact on sustainability issues within their daily lives? The podcast’s aim is to offer you nuanced perspectives on a complex and relevant subject. On Sustainability believes that it is only through an exchange of ideas, between all involved parties, that we can deepen our understanding of how to achieve a more sustainable world.
