The DRIFT Transitions Podcast

After we've spent the first of these two RESHARE episode in a literal living lab that also does a little bit of mobility sharing in Oslo, Norway, we thought it best to speak to experts who were looking at similar initiatives across Europe. How can we mix shared housing and mobility in less densely populated areas? We hear from Paola Pucci and Giovanni Lanza from the Politecnico di Milano. These re...

A meal, a toolkit or... salt? What was the last time you shared something with your neighbors? In the first of two episodes made possible by the RESHARE project, The DRIFT Transitions podcast goes to Oslo to explore the promise of shared housing an mobility. Because what if we could greatly accelerate shared mobility, which is key for future transport systems that don't break the planet and ruin w...

*heads-up: somewhere in this episode you may experience something strange in the audio. But don't worry, it's all part of the plan* In the final episode of 'Whoosh', we're ripping off a band-aid. What if, despite the opportunity to make renewable energy and ecology go hand in hand, there is a clash? What does it look, sound and feel like when offshore wind energy development is at odds with nature...

This is ‘Whoosh’, a three-part audio series on listening to different voices in the wind energy transition. ‘Whoosh’ is produced by DRIFT as part of the JustWind4All project.  In these three episodes, colleagues Wouter Mulders and Stéphanie van der Raad are trying to shift perspectives by listening to sounds that they believe deserve to be better heard when it comes to offshore wind energy develop...

Who is responsible for the climate crisis? And how safe is it actually for everyone when we keep within established planetary boundaries? For the first season of the DRIFT Transitions Podcast, we are republishing a number of English-language episodes on transition science and practice that we previously recorded for our Dutch-language channel.   Wouter Mulders and Neha Mungekar are very honoured t...

For the first season of the DRIFT Transitions Podcast, we are republishing a number of English-language episodes on transition science and practice that we previously recorded for our Dutch-language channel. What is it like to work on environmental and human rights issues from both ends, so from both the Global South (or majority world) and the Global North? And not to work *for* but *with* global...

For the first season of the DRIFT Transitions Podcast, we are republishing a number of English-language episodes on transition science and practice that we previously recorded for our Dutch-language channel. In this episode, we're taking a hike. Together with Mara de Pater, transitions researcher specializing in biodiversity, and Samuelle van Deutekom, forest ranger, we're walking through the Dune...

In this first episode of The DRIFT Transitions Podcast, we're talking you through how to draw an X-curve: a simple model that explains why so few sustainable and just initiatives break through. And why societies can plot the same course for years and years and then suddenly change at lightning speed. Applying the x-curve helps explain how change really happens across the systems, society, and sect...
