Energy transition policies for sustainable development in China: With guest Lydia Qiu
Reducing coal consumption is crucial for China's sustainable development. To achieve this goal, the Chinese government has implemented various policies aimed at promoting a transition to clean energy, such as the "coal to gas" and "coal to electricity" initiatives. In this particular episode, Lydia Qui, an alumna of the MSc PIE program and currently a Risk analyst at TikTok, focuses on the metropolitan region of Jing-Jin-Ji. She analyses the impact of the "coal to gas" and "coal to electricity" policies on the winter heating sector, a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. During their conversation, Onya and Lydia discuss the key characteristics, impacts, limitations, and differences between these policies. They also delve into the consequences of implementing these policies for the residents of Jing-Jin-Ji, as well as the implications of Lydia's findings for policymakers and corporations.

Social inclusion, green spaces and community-led social change: With guests Nyma Haqqani and Paul Ely

Advancing climate justice: With guests Sarah Wyns and James Perry
Can climate justice principles be applied to businesses? The research on climate justice has grown significantly in the last decade, however, its practical implications are still unclear, and research has mostly been limited to national government responses rather than corporations. How can B Corp businesses advance a just transformation to sustainability? How do they manage the tensions that exist between mission and market-oriented practices? In this episode we discuss these questions with Sarah Wyns (UCL MSc PIE alumna) and James Perry (Co-chairman of Cook & Co-founder of the B Corp movement in the UK).

Beyond GDP: With guests Justin Van Wyk and Robert Costanza
How do we measure the wellbeing of a society? Is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) an appropriate indicator of both economic progress and wellbeing? GDP is based on a liberal theory of progress which equates economic growth to progress and wellbeing. However, researchers have found that the link between economic growth and wellbeing isn’t as strong as we would like to think. Yet, governments use GDP as a primary indicator for decision making and economic planning. This ‘addiction’ to GDP has led to policies that favour increased economic production without consideration of the effects on society or the environment. In this episode with Justin Van Wyk (UCL MSc PIE alumnus) and Robert Costanza (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/igp/professor-robert-costanza) (Professor of Ecological Economics at UCL Institute for Global Prosperity), we discuss the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), one of several alternative measures to GDP which takes into consideration the impact of economic activity on social wellbeing.

Dealing with 'crises' and not a crisis is becoming the norm for us today. During times of crisis or adversity, female entrepreneurs find themselves faced with multidimensional challenges which they have to navigate using the resources available to them.

In this first episode of Life of PIE with Onya Idoko, we discuss this question with Bidisha Pandey a former UCL Institute for Global Prosperity MSc PIE student.
