Episode 14: Jem Bendell - Breaking together

  • Summary

  • Dr. Jem Bendell’s career centered on how to mitigate harms caused by the excesses of our consumer culture. He was a Founder of the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability which had an MBA program with over 2000 students online from around 100 countries. He gave talks all over the world to leaders in business and government on tackling critical global challenges. In 2012, the World Economic Forum appointed him a Young Global Leader.
    In 2018 he published a White Paper on Deep Adaptation. The research for that paper changed his life. He came to the conclusion that tinkering around the edges of how we live won’t save us from the catastrophic effects brought about by the degradation of the natural world.
    His new book Breaking Together examines the scope of the crisis and advocates for creative responses. There is so much in this book that I felt I could have built an entire series around it but I had only an hour of his time. In this first half we talk about what collapse looks like and how it might play out. The second half focuses more on how to respond.
