Sustainability in Everyday Life -
Part 2: Personal Change and Change in Others

  • Learn how to think and behave more sustainably
  • Develop ways to inspire change in others
  • Advice on the practicalities of living sustainably everyday
  Broadcast on Wednesday, 28th April 2010

ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION

In the second of two Earthcasts to address sustainable practices in everyday life, the authors of The Power of Sustainable Thinking, and The Economical Environmentalist demonstrate how individuals can change their behaviour and inspire change in others.

Bob Doppelt takes attendees though a series of ‘staged-based’ methods for transforming thinking and behaviour, beginning first with the audience’s own cognitive patterns, then moving to how individuals can motivate other people and organisations to change.

Prashant Vaze then provides guidance from his own experience on managing the practicalities of living in a sustainable way every day.


 

Sustainability in Everyday Life -
Part 1: Institutional and Cultural Change

  • How can institutions address the challenges of sustainability?
  • Should organisations take responsibility for cultural change?
  • How can work be redefined to encourage sustainable behaviour?
Broadcast Wednesday, 31 March 2010

ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION

In Sustainability & Everyday Life Part 1the authors of State of the World 2010, The Sustainability Handbook and The Good Work Guide analyse how institutions can reorganise and drive a cultural shift towards sustainable behaviour.

The Earthcast is full of positive examples from institutions at all levels – the media, education, government, business and religious organizations – and discusses how the value of work should be redefined within capitalist organisations to encourage sustainable behaviour.

Ultimately it examines why institutional leaders need to recognise their responsibility to society and align their actions around values that encourage a drive towards sustainability.

 

Climate Change and Business Success

  • How can an environmental strategy benefit your business?
  • What are the costs and challenges of GHG emission compliance?
  • Can there be truly green business models?


Broadcast on 23rd January 2010,

ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION

Adapting businesses to the demands of climate change mitigation is a huge challenge, but one that can not only improve levels of environmental impact, but also enhance brands, motivate employees, increase operational efficiencies, and save money.

In this Earthcast the authors of The Three Secrets of Green Business and Doing Business in a New Climate focus on the challenges and opportunities that climate change poses for businesses of all sizes.

It examines the challenges posed by measuring, reducing, and offsetting emissions and the innovative solutions to common challenges currently being employed by businesses across the world. Practical tips cover everything from the easy actions that will cut waste of materials, water and energy and save you money, to the big changes in processes, products and business models.


 


After Copenhagen - the Tactics and the Treaty

  • What is the nature of the agreement that emerged
    from COP-15?
  • What were the negotiating tactics behind it?
  • Can an ambitious and binding treaty still be agreed?


Broadcast on 27th January 2010,

ACCESS ARCHIVED VERSION

In the wake of the COP-15 summit in Copenhagen, the first Earthcast of 2010 examined the treaty that emerged, the negotiating tactics behind it, and what the next steps are likely to be.

Experts Michael Grubb, David Satterthwaite and Richard Smith dissected the agreement and asked whether future negotiations could establish a binding treaty that set ambitious limits for the large emitters while supporting developing nations financially and technologically.

Michael Grubb is editor-in-chief of the Earthscan journal Climate Policy, Chair of Climate Strategies and a Professor at the University of Cambridge.

David Satterthwaite has written or edited nine Earthscan books, including Adapting Cities to Climate Change and The Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Cities.

Richard Smith is the author of the Earthscan book Negotiating Environment and Science, published under the new Resources for the Future (RFF) Press imprint.

Cover imageTim Jackson developed the first Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare for the UK (a ‘green GDP’) in the 1990s, and is now one of the most influential advocates of worldwide economic reform.

This special pre-Copenhagen Earthcast examined the challenges that lie ahead if current economic systems are to support the development of a low carbon future.

Tim Jackson was joined by Robert Costanza, contributor to the Worldwatch Institute's The State of the World 2010 and ecological economist Peter Victor for a debate that explored ways of reorganising economies so that emissions reductions and well-being are prioritised.
