Transition Islands Podcast: Ideas for a Regenerative Future
Transition Islands
Episode 1 explores the motivation and purpose behind the launch of Transition Islands podcast in conversation with co-hosts Sasha Kazantseva-Miller and Jon Buckland.
info_outlineThe need for economic recovery stimulus packages post Covid19 pandemic is indisputable. But the decision to act is the easy part.
What should these packages look like, what kind of recovery should they support, what conditionality may they need attached?
In this episode, we explore the idea for a Green Recovery underpinning future Green Growth with our guest Estelle Levin-Nally, founder and CEO of a social venture and consultancy Levin Sources.
From the UN and the UK Green Party, to the governments of New Zealand, Canada and France, the call and commitment for embedding sustainability and climate change mitigation into the economic bailouts and recovery plans has never been louder.
The good news is that green recovery may give governments the best return for the buck while creating more sustainable and resilient economies that can better withstand future crises.
