Organic carrots in plastic?

The opening of the academic year on 5 September is themed planetary boundaries. But, what are they? How can you study them, and can you use them in your day-to-day life? Today, episode 2: Jessica Duncan, associate professor and one of the speakers during the opening. How can we change our production and consumption to stay within the boundaries of our planet? This is the societal issue at the core of sociologist Jessica Duncan 's work. She focuses mainly on what governance models best suit transitions towards a sustainable society. 'My work on planetary boundaries is focused on creating an equitable and safe setting for future transformations. I concentrate on the way in which different groups of people get together to negotiate such transformations. What are their views? How do they make sense of the challenges ahead? On what do they agree and disagree? And, how can we design equitable, administrative processes to ensure that those most affected are heard and prioritised?' - Jessica Duncan about planetary boundaries.
