Season 2, Episode 3: Planetary Commons with Professor Katherine Richardson

Navigating Zero - Global Trade’s Powerful Wave of Change

The intersections of global trade, policy, and ecological limits are discussed by Katherine Richardson, a professor of Biological Oceanography, leader of the Sustainability Science Centre at Copenhagen University and former chairman of the Danish Climate Commission. She delves into the concept of planetary boundaries and planetary commons, highlighting how to focus on biodiversity alongside climate change.

Exploring how understanding and respecting planetary boundaries is crucial as we navigate environmental challenges, she illuminates how sustainable practices can lead to a stable and healthy planet. This discussion is pivotal for anyone interested in how scientific insights can guide us toward a sustainable future.

The world is in a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today's society but is responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gases. A future where global trade reaches zero emissions is possible. But how do we get there? In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces while navigating its way to zero.
