Environment and Development / Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento (multi-lingua)

The traditional approaches to development in academic or policy circles have not coped, by and large, with the transformation of the processes of development under the conditions of multidimensional globalization, technological change, multiculturalism, and ecological consciousness. In this public lecture Manuel Castells explores a reconceptualisation of development in the global information age.

The Politics of Climate Change 2014: what cause for hope? [Audio]

How our cities are run and designed can have a huge impact on the carbon footprint we have as individuals. Is there convenient and affordable transit available for example? Or are the buildings heated and cooled efficiently?  But fortunately cities around the world are increasingly making their planning decisions with climate emissions in mind. In fact, actions by cities have been a rare bright spot in an otherwise mostly stagnant decade when it comes to climate action. We speak to Mark Watts - who leads a group called the C40 made up of some of the world's biggest cities  -  about some of the ways that cities are leading the way on climate.

John K. Samson - Postdoc Blues

When humanity first travelled into space, it didn’t just mean exploring new worlds and frontiers. It also meant for the first time seeing our home planet in an entirely new light. What from the ground seemed infinite and indestructible - something that we could never impact -from space suddenly appeared finite and fragile. 

When it comes to truly understanding that blue marble we all call home, few people can claim as much insight as Piers Sellers. Not only as an astronaut did Piers get the chance to witness Earth from that ultimate bird’s eye view, but now as the division director of NASA's Earth Sciences department, he oversees the work of 1600 scientists tasked with understanding how the natural systems of our planet operate, and how they’re changing because of humanity's collective impact.

In this special Season 1 Finale of The Elephant, we speak with Piers Sellers about his experiences as an astronaut and what it was like to view earth from space, the exciting new science of understanding the earth’s natural systems, and why despite the serious work ahead, he’s optimistic humanity will be able to overcome the challenge posed by climate change.

George Monbiot's writing on a contemporary epidemic of loneliness led him to collaborate with songwriter and musician Ewan McLennan.  George wrote the lyrics which are arranged and set to music by Ewan.

Here George and Ewan discuss the project and we hear samples of the songs from the album played by Ewan.
