Why Rich Countries are guilty of Climate Appropriation?

Today we will talk about how it is possible to provide safe and just space for all. In other words can we provide essential services of food, housing, mobility, education and more to everyone, everywhere and still stay within planetary boundaries ? More specifically, how are countries doing today and which countries are the main responsibles for our ecological overshoot ?

To help us navigate through these questions I have the great pleasure to welcome Andrew Fanning. Andrew is an ecological economist that carries out quantitative analyses that track nations’ progress in terms of both meeting basic needs and respecting environmental limits in nearly 150 countries since 1992. He is currently the Analysis & Research Lead at Doughnut Economics Action Lab, and a Visiting Research Fellow in the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of Leeds.
