Eradicating poverty beyond growth - Olivier De Schutter
<p>Mainstream economic thought believes that economic growth can end poverty as prosperity through more growth trickles down to those in need. The tide lifts all boats as they say. However, current experiences do not seem to underpin this principle, and it is time that our societies reevaluate this stance and look for solutions that can truly eradicate poverty. In April 2026, a report was presented by Olivier De Schutter in his role as UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights aimed at providing a roadmap that sets out alternative development pathways that can end poverty and inequalities on a liveable planet. In today’s episode we explore with him what this roadmap entails. Hosted by Alexandra Köves. Edited by Aidan Knox. </p>

Reimagining Nature Finance
<p>Global biodiversity is in decline and transformative change is required to address biodiversity loss. Yet the predominant approaches that are prevailing in policy and industry focus on the so-called biodiversity funding gap, and aim to deliver biodiversity conservation primarily through attracting more private investment- often associated with creating new revenue streams for funding nature conservation and restoration, such as the expansion of biodiversity or carbon credit markets. Today’s guest Justin Adams is Reimagining Nature Finance Fellow at the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance and cofounder of Ostara and has formerly held very senior positions in some of the biggest players in nature finance, such as environmental NGOs like the Nature Conservancy and sustainability-focused asset managers such as Just Climate, aiming to attract more investment into nature conservation and restoration. But after decades of doing this, Justin ended up coming to the conclusion that these approaches just weren't a systemic solution to the problem. So: what’s next? How can we reimagine nature finance?

Patagonia: The paragon of corporate sustainability or the wake-up call for systemic changes?
<p>It is clear that strong sustainability that pays attention to notdepleting natural resources beyond their regenerative capacities would require companies to change drastically. In these debates one company keeps popping up as a paragon of corporate sustainability: Patagonia. Through its commitments to produce lasting garments, to repairing rather than replacing products, through its transparent supply chain, and its decision to transfer ownership to a trustdedicated to protecting the planet, Patagonia seems to underscore that companies can change indeed. On the other hand, Patagonia also represents a paradox: a company that tells people to buy less still relies on selling products in a system built on resource extraction. To delve into this paradox, in this episode have with us Alejandro Agafonow who has studied in depth Patagonia’s sustainable practices. Hosted by Alexandra Köves. Edited by Aidan Knox.
