In fact, our wellbeing and Earth's wellbeing hinge on the same thing: reducing inequality.\n\nJulia Steinberger is a renowned degrowth scholar at the University of Lausanne where she and her colleagues recently produced Living Well Within Limits, which shows there is no tension between human and ecological flourishing. Julia joins me to explain their award-winning research in this exciting and hopeful episode. To reduce our pressure on the planet and to improve our wellbeing, we simply need more public services. This would reduce our material footprints, energy footprints, and, of course, societal inequality. This is not a vision which has room for billionaires and autocrats. But by getting rid of them, we have room for all 8 billion of us—on a healthy, regenerating planet.\n\n🎧\n\n __You can listen to the episode on your podcast app, in your browser,__ download__it or watch it on Youtube (where automatic subtitles are provided).__\n\n__Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis.
