Summary

Climate change, biodiversity loss, plastic pollution - it's all pretty scary. But more worrying still - imagine if our main plan to tackle them was inherently scientifically flawed? This week, we speak to Timothée Parrique, a French social scientist and author of the book 'Slow Down or Perish'. We find out exactly where our obsession with GDP came from and whether we can grow the global economy and avoid the collapse of ecosystems. And - if we do decide to stop chasing growth at all costs - what do we do instead?NOTESHere's The Plan is presented by James Miller and Bella Lack.
