For the last episode of SystemShift season 2, we are joined by Helena Norberg-Hodge, pioneer of the new economy movement, who delves into the far-reaching consequences of the prevailing economic model on local economies and ecosystems. Through her experiences in Ladakh, she describes the erosion of traditional values and community cohesion in the face of modernisation and consumerism. Helena advocates for a movement towards localisation, stressing the importance of decentralised, community-driven initiatives for environmental sustainability and overall wellbeing. From critiquing economic theories rooted in colonisation to proposing actionable solutions for a more interconnected, relationship-based economy, Helena explores the complexities and drawbacks of the modern economic model and the imperative for systemic transformation.


SystemShift comes from Greenpeace Nordic and is hosted by Greenpeace Sweden campaigner, Carl Schlyter, and produced by Alexia Fridén, with additional support from Zane Ford, Christian Aslund and Attila Kulcsár.
