Rowing across the Atlantic Ocean gave Kate Salmon a shocking glimpse of the scale of plastic pollution. Back on dry land, her crew were determined to do something about the problem. She explains how getting a city to take responsibility for its plastic consumption can bring people together. Kate Salmon is an applied scientist at the Met Office, where she uses weather and climate data to help decision-makers plan for climate change. She was part of Row for the Ocean, the fastest all-female team to finish the 2018 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. The crew set up Plastic Free Exeter, which aims to make Exeter the UK’s largest single-use ‘plastic-free’ city by 2020. __ At TEDxExeter 2019 our theme was The Art of the Possible. We’re living in an age of polarity where many communities are feeling more and more divided, against a backdrop of increasingly populist politics which risk dividing us even further. Our talks offer an opportunity to pause and consider the future we want to create, the possibilities that may be obscured in the busyness of our everyday lives, and how we might get there.

The Rise of Responsible Investment by James Gifford

Published on Apr 22, 2013

James Gifford says the global financial crisis has caused more firms to consider the impact of environmental, social and corporate governance factors on the long-term sustainability of a company. James Gofford, the Executive Director of the U.N. Principles for Responsible Investment says that only using financial metrics to gauge future value is "a bygone paradigm." Short-term investment strategies must be addressed by leaders coming together and saying, "Something is wrong here."

Dr. James Gifford is a Senior Fellow at the Initiative for Responsible Investment at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he researches sustainable investment in emerging markets and methods to deliver positive impact within mainstream investment strategies.

Published by the IESE. For over fifty years, IESE, the graduate business school of the University of Navarra, has been at the forefront of management education, developing and inspiring business leaders who strive to make a deep, positive and lasting impact on the people, companies and society they serve.

Staying Sane in a World out of Balance

While civilization has brought comforts undreamed of in human history to a wealthy minority, it has wreaked havoc on life itself, polluting, extracting, and heating the atmosphere and the oceans to the point of mass extinction. Greed, ill will and the delusion of separation reign. How can we recover our interconnectedness with each other and with nature, and realize our collective capacity to join in the necessary work of our time? Is individual spiritual practice, now mostly separated from the natural world, still valid? Dale talks with #DavidLoy, Zen teacher, and author of a multitude of essays and books including EcoDharma, #Buddhist Teachings for the #EcologicalCrisis, and founding member of the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center Edited by Mike Coe For more about the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center at: https://rmerc.org/retreats/ For more about David Robert Loy https://www.davidloy.org/ For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.
