Phoebe Barnard, founder of the Stable Planet Alliance, discusses her current work in public policy, national development, and filmmaking. She addresses global challenges like Earth overshoot and climate change, emphasizing the importance of both bottom-up and top-down approaches in shaping human behavior towards sustainability.
● The Stable Planet Alliance’s mission is to raise awareness about population, consumption, inequality, and rights, with a focus on empowering women.
● Earth overshoot, where our population and consumption exceed the planet's capacity, is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.
● Women's empowerment and the use of marketing and messaging are crucial in changing human behavior towards sustainability.
● Some potential solutions include investment in women and girls, cultural shifts away from pronatalism, and leveraging media narratives and marketing for behavior change.
