In this episode, we speak with senior advisors Andreas Lind and Cecilie Friis from the Danish think tank CONCITO about their project From Planetary Boundaries to Planetary Policies.

They explore how addressing the climate crisis requires confronting the broader web of interconnected environmental challenges—and how Earth-system science can inform more effective and equitable policy responses. Lind and Friis discuss the urgent need to move from abstract recognition of planetary boundaries to concrete political action.

What would it take to craft solutions that are globally viable? How can local communities meaningfully contribute to shaping policies at a planetary scale? The conversation highlights the potential of integrating planetary thinking into governance frameworks—bridging science, policy, and grassroots engagement in the face of accelerating ecological change.

Description

The podcast 'Planetary Choices' is created and produced by the Research Center for New Critical Politics and Governance, located at Aarhus University, Denmark.

The concept of 'The Planetary' has gained increasing traction in almost all scientific disciplines. From physics, to litterature, to history, law and economics - planetary thinking and policy making is taking more sophisticated shapes, amounting to an emerging new paradigm.

In season 1, called "Mapping the Planetary", we map and assess the concept of the planetary, where we stand today and in which direction planetary thinking and activism may develop in the future.

With this podcast, we also intend to explore scholarly research through an alternative venue of dissemination that allows for aural intimacy, faster publishing and full open access. As each episode contributes to a larger question investigated throughout a season, every episode becomes a data point on its own, consequently making "Planetary Choices" a place of output and on-going research.

Join us and explore the big questions of our planet!
