Can Democracies Achieve Climate Action? | Dr. Ron Levy | A Thrivable Future: Episode 19
Channel: Thrivability Matters
Date: 2022-11-14

Democracies empower people to influence the future of their nations - but if we want our governments to create a thrivable future, we need correct and timely information. But how can we achieve this?

We discuss with Dr. Ron Levy, Associate Professor at the Australian National University. As a researcher who explores the intersection between public law and political theory - especially deliberative democratic theory, he has won several academic awards and has published numerous works on law and political theory in books and journals in at least five countries.

Today, we discuss how democratic institutions in both Australia and across the world can both ensure peace and benefit our climate, the role that national constitutions can play in change, and the obstacles that nations have to making changes for a world where we live in harmony with nature (and each other). People and governments can lead the world to a thrivable future. (44 mins)
