Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Environmental justice and climate change are driving decarbonization across industrial sectors and throughout everyday life. There are many nuanced issues that planners will face as they try to sustainably reshape our world. This podcast will focus on climate and EJ but also bring on associated experts to speak about how these issues affect their fields. From city planning, economic development, transportation, education, national security, mental health, manufacturing, supply chain...we should all be considering how climate and EJ considerations will affect our decision paradigms.
Join me every two weeks as we discuss critical issues with thought leaders who know them best.

Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Season 2 - Episode 1 - Climate Change: Impact Trends, Social Tipping Points, and Climate Anxiety
Season 2!!!
As with last year, we are starting this season on climate change. There is no bigger issue that we discuss on these podcasts. The risks are real, the costs of impacts mounting, and our time for action is dwindling to avert surpassing tipping points that will do irrevocable harm. This is not a political issue, and it does not have to be a subjective one. Objectively look at what the modeling is telling you and start making some informed decisions on long term planning.
For this episode, we are joined by two world renowned experts on climate change, Professor Sheila Foster (Columbia University) and Brian Barnes (Managing Director, South of 2 Degrees). We discuss quite a bit over the hour, but focus most on climate impacts, our current trajectory, climate migration, social tipping points, and climate anxiety. That's a lot of heavy topics, but somehow we managed to also end on a hopeful tone.
I hope you enjoy!
