Guest : Prof. Garry Peterson

Increasing global affluence and poverty reduction represent a success story of human development in the decades since the last world war. This period has, however, also been characterized as a time of rapid environmental decline and deterioration of the ecosystem services that mankind depends on. Recent research has termed these divergent narratives as “The Environmentalist’s Paradox”.

How is it that economies continue to grow as our ecological life support system suffers from profound human exploitation? Think Globally Radio takes up this critical question with Prof. Garry Peterson of the Stockholm Resilience Center.
