Keine Kosten für Strom, heißes Wasser und Gas? Eine Familie aus Wales zeigt, wie es geht. In ihrem nachhaltigen Traumhaus, das sie mit Materialien aus 2. Hand selbstgebaut haben, leben sie klimaneutral und autark.
No costs for electricity, hot water and gas? A family from Wales shows how it's done. In their sustainable dream home, which they built themselves with 2nd-hand materials, they live climate-neutrally and self-sufficiently.
What happens if landowners entrust their land to more distributed and diverse forms of ownership and governance than a single bloodline? Might a culture of diversity lead to even greater resilience? Two progressive estate owners, a lawyer, an agro-economist and a researcher explore emerging models of land governance designed to enable more people to tend the soil for future generations, whilst growing the fabric of communities. What are the opportunities and risks in sharing the prosperity of, and responsibility for, the land? We will enquire into the benefits and drawbacks of both the old order and the emerging order now taking root in some places.
Speakers: Miriam Rose (Hardwick Estate), Olivia Oldham (University of Edinburgh), Ninian Stuart (Falkland Estate), Patrick Andrews (Barefoot lawyer), Tom Carman (Shared Assets)
Chair: Jane Davidson (University of Wales Trinity Saint David, land restorer and author)
The Public Good, a podcast hosted by Jaco Marais on behalf of the Good Governance Institute, puts you at the heart of conversations about how organisations should be led and run, and create value for society.
In this episode, Jaco explores integrity and its implication with Jane Davidson (Author of #futuregen) and Prof. Andrew Corbett-Nolan (CEO, GGI).
According to the Nolan Principles, integrity means: "Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships."What are the consequences of people failing to act with integrity? What is personal integrity? What about systematic integrity – how do we design systems with integrity? Listen in to find out!
The architect of a ground-breaking policy to tackle inequality and promote wellbeing in Wales says the blueprint is being adopted around the globe.
“In this episode I take a walk through the ancient Celtic Rainforest of Ty Canol with Jane Davidson, former minister for environment and sustainability in the Welsh government and one of the driving forces behind the creation of the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act.
We talk about the importance of restoring balance with nature and how walking can open our eyes to the possibilities of a better, sustainable future.” Visit Return to the trees here.

“In 1861, a group of Welsh nationalists gathered in Engedi, a chapel in Caernarfon, on the coast of northwest Wales, to plan a Welsh colony in far-off Patagonia. At the time, in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, many Welsh rankled at the rule of England, the oppressiveness of mining and other industries, and the loss of their culture and identity. The confederates who met in Engedi hoped to regenerate Welsh culture by leaving Wales. In 1865, they succeeded in establishing Y Wladfa, and, today, several thousand people still speak Welsh on the east coast of Argentina.” Read more on Techonomy
