Description

When we talk about sufficiency, we are discussing how to limit our consumption and how to identify the imbalances, the power struggles and inequalities behind that, because it is a social justice problem. In this episode, we will discuss the EU’s responsibility and role to address these issues at policy level, but we also dive into what citizens can do to make a lasting and sustainable change. We live in a world based on capitalism and consumerism and in the global North we have been overconsuming for decades, if not centuries. We know this is not compatible with living on a planet that has finite resources. So, how can we shift to a society that accepts & acknowledges these limits?The Institute for European Environmental Policy is a sustainability think tank.Working with stakeholders across EU institutions, international bodies, academia, civil society and industry, IEEP produces evidence-based research and policy insight and is committed to advancing impact-driven sustainability policy across the EU and the world.Europe Climate Connection is an original podcast presented by Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe.
