Listen now
Description
The climate crisis raises many questions but we go looking for solutions. In the first episode of a new AFP podcast series we start in Canada at "ground zero" for a possible new geological era for planet earth. But what are the implications and what solutions can be found?  Swedish professor in environmental science Johan Rockstrom head of the Stockholm resilience centre at Stokholm University, has worked on a guide to assess Earth's imbalances and set targets for overcoming them. To learn more about the proposed anthropocene era, how this era started and what we can do about it, we recommend this article by French economist Victor Court in The Conversation.
