Julia Steinberger: Living Well Within Limits
29:30 – Start of the lecture
Public Lecture by Julia Steinberger (professor of Ecological Economics at University of Lausanne, Switzerland) with Andreas Novy (WU Vienna, IKPS), Jürgen Essletzbichler (Head of the WU Vienna Department for Socioeconomics), Ulrich Brand (ÖFSE), Marina Fischer-Kowalski (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences) and Daniel Huppmann (IIASA)
Julia Steinberger is professor of Societal Challenges of Climate Change at the University of Lausanne. As an ecological economist, she is examining the current and historical linkages between resource use and socioeconomic parameters as well as alternative development pathways to inform the transition to a low carbon society. In 2022 the European Research Council (ERC) awarded her and her colleagues a Synergy Grant for their project “Pathways towards post growth deals”.
This summer term she is the fifth Vienna Karl Polanyi Visiting Professor. During the public lecture, Julia Steinberger will present her current research project “Living Well within Limits” and discuss questions such as What are the biophysical resources, more specifically energy, required to achieve human well-being? What influence do social and technical provisioning systems have on the levels of resource use associated with well-being? If remaining within planetary boundaries requires rapid decreases in resource and energy use, how could these scarce resources best be employed to enhance and preserve well-being?
