Helena Norberg-Hodge was recently a guest on Greenpeace’s SystemShift podcast.
Through her experiences in the remote Himalayan plateau of Ladakh in Northern India, Helena describes the erosion of traditional values and community cohesion in the face of modernisation and consumerism. She 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.
