Guest : Prof. Garry Peterson Increasing global affluence and poverty reduction represent a success story of human development in the decades since the last world war. This period has, however, also been characterized as a time of rapid environmental decline and deterioration of the ecosystem services that mankind depends on.

Think Globally Radio takes up this critical question with Prof. Garry Peterson of the Stockholm Resilience Center. Download Think Globally Radio 2013 02 17
