Webinar: Rethinking Sustainability: Insights from Systems Thinking

Despite growing global efforts toward sustainability, ecological damage continues to worsen. Can systems thinking guide us to more effective responses?

William Jevons, a 19th-century economist, anticipated today’s paradox by identifying that the impulse to use a resource more efficiently often leads only to more consumption.Systems thinkers now recognise Jevons’ Paradox as one instance of a more universal 'Fix that Fails’ pattern that continues to thwart many sustainability strategies.

Join Duncan Austin, LIS associate professor, in this webinar to explore how systems thinking clarifies Jevons' Paradox and, in so doing, offers insights for addressing global ecological challenges.
