The Earth is cracking under the weight of our expectations, with growth held up as the economic north star. Meanwhile, wildlife populations are collapsing, the ocean is acidifying, and carbon emissions are still increasing. Despite everything we know about what’s wrong and what to do about it, we cling to our current way of life.

Civilizations have collapsed before. Could it be happening again? And if it is, what can we be doing to prepare for it?

This episode features: 
Richard Kingsford – Professor of Ecology and Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science, UNSW Science
Tommy Wiedmann – Professor of Sustainability, UNSW Engineering
Mark Diesendorf – Associate Professor of Environmental Studies, UNSW Sydney
Jem Bendell – Emeritus Professor of Sustainability Leadership, University of Cumbria
