Resilience

With: Marcus Carson, Stockholm Environment Institute Released late last year, the Arctic Resilience Report made headlines around the world for the warnings it contained over the future of the Arctic and the risk environmental changes there posed for the rest of the planet. The report identifies 19 potential “tipping points” that may be tripped if environmental pressure on the Arctic—mostly driven by activities far to the south—continues at its current pace. Dr. Marcus Carson, co-editor of the report, joins Think Globally Radio this week to discuss the report in detail, including its findings on how communities across the circumpolar North are faring and preparing for the further changes that are in store as the Arctic continues to warm and transform.

Endangered Environment in the High North: the Arctic Resilience Report

Hans Rosling

With:Owen Gaffney This week’s episode pays tribute to the late Prof. Hans Rosling, one of world’s most prominent public intellectuals in the realm of public health and sustainability, who radically changed perceptions of development and demographics through his gripping visual presentations of big data. The studio guest is Owen Gaffney, an expert in the communication and visualization of scientific knowledge at the Stockholm Resilience Centre and Future Earth. The broad discussion encompasses the life and legacy of Hans Rosling, and the crucial role of public intellectuals in communicating science for fostering public engagement with sustainability issues. Gaffney also explains the “Anthropocene Equation”, the basis of a newly-published article he co-authored with Prof. Will Steffen, which brings mathematical precision to the advent of the proposed human-dominated epoch in Earth history.

Interview with Sweden’s Left Party leader Jonas Sjöstedt

With: Hanna Sundqvist, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist and Paul Krusic Weather extremes in recent years, including droughts and downpours, have generally been regarded as emblems of increased anthropogenic climate change. New research published in the journal Nature, however, suggests that great variations in precipitation that eclipse those of the twentieth century have occurred across at least 1200 years, and thus precede the large-scale combustion of fossil fuels. Three of the authors of the new study—Hanna Sundqvist, Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist and Paul Krusic—join Think Globally Radio this week to discuss their findings, and the implications for the scientific understanding and modeling of climate change.

with Sverker Sörlin The ‘planetary boundaries’ framework has been a scientific sensation since first presented in the journal Nature in 2009. It provides a powerful means of conceptualizing the impact of humans on the global environment, and how transgressing Earth’s biophysical boundaries risks compromising the Holocene’s ‘safe operating space for humanity’. Prof. Sverker Sörlin is a professor of environmental history at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and a co-author of the original planetary boundaries article as well as an update of the framework recently published in the journal Science. Prof. Sörlin visits Think Globally Radio this week to elaborate on the place of planetary boundaries in the ongoing discussion of the Anthropocene concept. He will also discuss one of the more celebrated events in the history of environmentalism: Earth Day, which celebrated its 45th anniversary this week. The Think Globally Radio episode March 15 2015

with Dima Litvinov A line in the ice was drawn by Greenpeace, which has made the Arctic the main focus of its global environmental protection efforts. The exploitation of natural resources, especially offshore energy reserves, is a particular cause for concern, as an eventual oil spill in the remote reaches of the Arctic could be catastrophic for the fragile ecosystems there.
