30 Outubro 2021, 09:00 • João Guerra

The session of October 30th 2021 was a lecture by Olivia Bina, researcher at the University of Lisbon,working on environmental governance, sustainable futures and transition/transformation theories. The goal of the session was to present Donella Meadows work and the notions of leverage points as points of intervention incomplex systems. After a brief introduction on the speaker and topics, the session moderators introduced a thought provoking question on how the notion of leverage points can be applied to large complex issues such as the climate emergency and COP26 discussions, which were ongoing at that precise moment. Olivia Bina’s presentation followed and a final discussion and Q&A session finalised the seminar.
