TEDxWakefield: Living within our means?
Sustainability, Skills and Behaviour Change
According to Defra we currently consume 30% more natural resources across Europe than the Earth can replenish – but whilst some of us actively make sustainable lifestyle choices, how do we encourage everyone to adopt more sustainable behaviours?
How can we effectively inspire the environmental behavioural and cultural changes that we urgently need? Is it through a combination of skills development, policy, cultural changes and behavioural factors? If so how do we find the right balance and how can we make this happen?
The latest TEDxWakefield event will explore how culture, institutional frameworks and infrastructure, as well as behavioural factors including knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes all contribute to and influence how we currently live. Our ultimate challenge in this age of environmental crisis and economic austerity is to foster lifestyles and behaviours that ensure we can ‘live within our means’.
