Peter Victor, Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar at York University, Canada and author of Escape from Overshoot. Economics for a Planet in Peril (2023), looks at the intersection of ecology, economics, and sustainable living, diving deep into the historical roots of our current environmental dilemmas. Peter explores the impacts of economic growth and the concept of overshoot, delving into the complexities of 'green growth,' and grappling with the hurdles of achieving net-zero emissions on a global scale. Peter takes us through concepts aimed at a fair distribution of wellbeing resources such as 'contraction and convergence’, 'circular economy’ and ‘steady-state economy’. The episode takes a positive turn when Victor shares his vision for a wellbeing-focused political landscape, concluding with optimism about achieving balance in economic theories to avoid overshoot.
