Do wild, high-risk adventures inspire more care about environmental issues than everyday encounters with nature – or is it the other way around? Meet Robert Macfarlane, this year’s Arne Næss Chair, in conversation with Erling Kagge, Benedicte Sivertsen, and Karen V. Lykke.
How much do we really need to live good lives? In this year’s Hal Wilhite Memorial Lecture, sociologist Marlyne Sahakian asks whether we can agree on upper and lower limits to consumption that are both fair and within the planet’s boundaries.

Welcome to a seminar on consumption, sustainability and sufficiency in affluent consumer societies.
In this seminar we discuss how goals, targets, indicators and metrics attempt to shape policy and practice, and how such tools in turn shape theories of governance.
In this lunch seminar Peter Newell will present his new book States of transition, and we will discuss different aspects of it. How can it allow us to better understand the role of the state in sustainability transitions? Do we risk that broadening the agenda from specific climate and environmental policies to ample state functions may dilute efforts towards sustainability transitions?
