A Giant Leap for Mankind: An Apollo vision for sustainability
Guest : Owen Gaffney, director of communications, IGBP September 26 2010
With an eye towards two major events in 2012 – the Rio +20 Earth Summit and the Planet Under Pressure science conference in London – Think Globally Radio kicks off the autumn season by thinking big about sustainability.
Owen Gaffney, director of communications at the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, visits the studio to put forward a vision for science and collective action on a scale commensurate with the challenges posed by global environmental change. Perhaps nothing short of an Apollo project for the 21st century is called for.
