Oxford Real Farming Conference: Intergenerational Land Ownership Beyond the FamilyTree

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 Good Governance Institute: Public Good Podcast - Integrity

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 Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) Podcast: Sustainable development and the well-being of future generations

In this episode of the SDG podcast series, Sustainability Board member, Shyam Gharial speaks to Jane Davidson, a former Welsh Assembly member in government between 1999 and 2011. As Minister for the Environment, Sustainability & Housing, Jane proposed legislation to make sustainable development the central organising principle for the government in Wales through what became known as the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act, which passed into law in 2015. Many other nations have been looking at how to implement similar legislation, including for the UK. The discussion touches on topics of intergenerational fairness, intragenerational fairness and the role that financial services can play in moving towards a more sustainable society.

Post Carbon Institute: Crazy Town Podcast - Episode 37 – Discounting the Future and Climate Chaos, or… the Story of the Dueling Economists

An argument between economists is usually as exciting as reading the phone book (what’s that?), especially about something as boring-sounding as the discount rate. But it’s an argument that underlies how governments and businesses solve (or don’t solve) climate change. So, literally life and death stuff. Jason, Rob, and Asher explore why the discount rate, and discounting the future more broadly, is so deadly important, and why the number 0 is what our kids and grandkids deserve. In our Do-the-Opposite segment, catch up with Jane Davidson and her ideas for establishing better governance and a livable environment.
