DESCRIPTION:Dr Julia K. Steinberger\, Professor of Social Ecologiy and Eco
 logical Economics at the Sustainability Research Institute of the Universi
 ty of Leeds\, Faculty of Environment\, School of Earth and Environment\, U
 K. Her research examines the connections between resource use (energy and 
 materials\, greenhouse gas emissions) and societal performance (economic a
 ctivity and human wellbeing). She has a PhD in Physics from MIT in the USA
 \, and subsequently worked at the Universities of Lausanne\, Zurich\, and 
 the Institute of Social Ecology in Vienna. She is the recipient of a Lever
 hulme Research Leadership Award for her research project 'Living Well With
 in Limits' <http://lili.leeds.ac.uk/>and a Lead Author for the IPCC's 6th 
 Assessment Report.\nAbstract:\nThe challenge of achieving universal human 
 development and climate change mitigation requires careful consideration o
 f (1) the definition of a “good”\, happy or decent life\; (2) analytic
  clarity in conceptualising the consumption requirements of well-being\; (
 3) the context surrounding intra- and inter-national inequality\, and the 
 political dynamics and social processes that could enable the prioritisati
 on of human well-being alongside limiting consumption within emission budg
 ets. This talk will put forward novel approaches and recent results from t
 he Living Well Within Limits project\, including discussion of new activis
 t and policy directions for climate action.\n
