In these weekly talks, scholars and leaders exchange ("xChange") new research and solutions for people and planet.

Adrienne is a writer, researcher, and the host and editor-in-chief of The Break Down. Her work focuses on capitalism, nature, and climate and ecological crisis. She is the author of The Value of a Whale: On the illusions of green capitalism and co-author with Mathew Lawrence of Owning the Future: Power and Property in an Age of Crisis. The Value of a Whale won the 2024 Eric Zencey Prize in Ecological Economics. Adrienne said, “Writing The Value of a Whale was a very personal and exploratory undertaking for me — as a young scholar relatively new to the field of ecological economics, it offered a space to wrestle with issues and ideas I found challenging and unresolved.”
