We’re living as if we had 1.75 planets to work from. Our ecosystems can’t regenerate in line with the amount of resources we’re using. So, how do we change that and create truly circular societies. In this podcast, we put the focus on what cities can do to stop ‘overshoot day.’

In this podcast, the Stockholm Resilience Centre is calling on cities and countries to appoint Chief Engineers to put together the best engineering and design minds together with the finance community to speed up the transformation. We hear from the city of Glasgow, the UN17 village in Copenhagen and also hear about how Turku in Finland has found a way to ensure collaboration across the city thanks to support from ICLEI, a global network of local governments working towards sustainability.
