Sustainability has emerged as a global priority in recent years. In the U.S., however, partisan divides, regional disputes, and deep disagreements over core principles have made it nearly impossible to chart a course toward a more sustainable future. The Yale Environmental Dialogue, a new podcast from the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES), is trying to do something about that. During each episode, leading environmental thinkers from a range of disciplines, sectors, and political perspectives will share their ideas for addressing critical environmental threats and lead a discussion with colleagues and other experts about the potential for these ideas and innovations to achieve meaningful change. Each of these ideas are published in a new book, “A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future,” edited by Daniel Esty, Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy at Yale. The book is a product of the Yale Environmental Dialogue, a new F&ES initiative that is promoting important discussions on environmental issues. It is published by the Yale University Press.
