    Building back better: economic decision-making after COVID-19

    COVID-19 has forced governments to take unprecedented steps to recover their economies. At the same time, some parts of the private sector warn they may have to park long-term climate ambitions just to keep their heads above water. This has potentially devastating consequences for sustainability efforts. So how can stimulus packages and investments promote short-term economic recovery without compromising long-term decarbonization and sustainability goals? In this episode, Beatrice Crona, deputy science director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and executive director of the Global Economic Dynamics and the Biosphere programme at The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, talks to Maria Håkansson, CEO of Swedfund, the Swedish Government's Development Finance Institution and Therese Lindahl, director of the Behavior, Economics and Nature Programme at the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics.

    Pandemics, health and global change: how are they connected?

    We are in the midst of a devastating pandemic. The coronavirus that leads to covid-19 is known to be a zoonotic disease - a virus that has spilled over from non-human animals to humans, and then rapidly moved across the world with devastating impacts on human health, economies and social stability. How strong is the connection between environmental change and diseases such as coronaviruses connection, can we really blame bats, and what does the future of disease risks look like? In this episode, Victor Galaz talks to Kate Jones from University College London and Peter Søgaard Jørgensen from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Both researchers are experts on the links between ecology, disease and global change.
