Description

A key focus of ecological economics is studying the role of energy in the economy. What role does energy play in economic production? What happens when the economy becomes more energy efficient? What fundamental relationships do the IPCC decarbonisation models get wrong, that leads to radically different visions for how to decarbonise our economies? Join us with Dr Paul Brockway who has spent much of the last decade thinking about the decarbonisation of energy systems for a guide through what ecological economists need to know about energy. Edited by Aidan Knox.

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.
