Research shows that "conservation of biodiversity is above all else an exercise in human persuasion."

At this year’s #IUCNCongress2025, IUCN members will be voting on #Motion128, which builds on this insight.

The time for action is now!

Economics for Rebels – Podcast The world is on fire. We have to radically and rapidly transform every aspect of society to stay within 1.5 degrees of global warming. How is this possible? And how do we do this in a way that is fair? Ecological economists integrating ecological and critical social perspectives have long been working on ideas to bring about just sustainability transformations. This podcast aims at communicating these ideas in order to open them to critical discussion, from global problems to people’s everyday lives. – Listen to Economics for Rebels instantly on your tablet, phone or browser - no downloads needed.

🌱 Podcast 🎧 Behavioural science for ecological economists, Season 4 opener of Economics for Rebels (ESEE).
