In this episode of The Sustainable Ambassador Podcast, we speak with Professor Björn-Ola Linnér about the challenges of creating tangibility around environmental issues, the need to change rules and societal norms, and the role of academia in driving impactful change.

Through our time we dive deep into the complexities of societal transformations, governance frameworks, and the need for actionable options to empower stakeholders, but end with a great discussion about the passion and capacity of his current "millennial" PhDs.

PhDs whom he sees as far more equipped than he was, and are driven towards answering questions that are far more tangible.. and actionable.
