Reimagine series: Sustainability

In Spring 2025, we released a podcast series on the theme of sustainability.

In this last series, three researchers from HEC Lausanne explore the human, cultural, and technological challenges of sustainability, while opening up fresh perspectives to reimagine our shared future.

🔹 Episode 1 – Polarization, Identity and Sustainability: An Evolutionary Puzzle? with Prof. Charles Efferson: Why do some sustainable choices (like changing transport habits or reducing meat consumption) struggle to take hold in our societies? This episode looks at the role of polarization in shaping sustainable behaviors.

🔹 Episode 2 – How to rethink Sustinability in Luxury? with Prof. Felicitas Morhart: Can luxury contribute to a sustainable future? From repair and longevity to the concept of luxury competence, this episode challenges the culture of excess and redefines exclusivity through sustainability.

🔹 Episode 3 – Smarter and more Inclusive Mobility with Prof. Virginie Lurkin: Can sustainable mobility be joyful, inclusive, and transformative? This episode explores how shifting habits, embracing multimodal journeys, and designing people-centered cities can reshape the way we move.
