“2040: I’m Going There!” Podcast – #26 The Plastic Challenge: Negotiating for a World Free of Plastic Pollutants

20 metric tons of plastic waste are dumped into the oceans every minute. There is waste visible to the naked eye, but also invisible microplastics. In this episode of the podcast “2040 j’y vais!,” Chantal Peyer explores how we can collectively find solutions to this problem alongside Pascal Hagmann (founder of OceanEye) and David Azoulay (director of CIEL’s health program).

What is the hub?

Reconnect with living, dare to imagine, create a desirable future.

Faced with the challenges of climate change, growing crises, inequality and poverty, it’s becoming difficult to imagine how we will continue into the future. At the Hub of possibilities, we experience the beauty of living things and rediscover the desire to care for them; we contemplate the paths to a zero-carbon Switzerland, where life is good and everyone has their place; we picture the world we’d like to live in, and consider what we can do to achieve it.

At the Hub of Possibilities, we invite you to..:

Lecture by Anne-Sophie Novel: Media, Ecology, and Democracy—How to Weave a Different Narrative

As part of this new lecture in the “2040: I’m Going!” series, Anne-Sophie Novel will discuss her proposal to build an “ecology of information”: a way of producing, selecting, and using information that preserves our ability to pay attention and encourages action. She will be joined by journalist Jean-Philippe Ceppi, an iconic figure at RTS.

Understand the issues, share emotions, explore solutions.
