with Rob Nixon

The world faces two great crises, according Prof. Rob Nixon: the post-war ‘Great Acceleration’ of unsustainable economic growth that has precipitated severe environmental degradation; and the ‘Great Divergence’ of accelerating inequality within societies across the globe. How mankind meets these challenges will profoundly affect the future of the planet and human development.

Rob Nixon is a leading voice in the field of environmental humanities and author of the acclaimed book ‘Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor’. He joins Think Globally Radio this week to discuss these twin crises of the Anthropocene from the perspective of environmental justice.
