Every day, we make decisions without knowing what the future holds. That's uncertainty, and lately it seems to have become particularly noisy. In this episode of CIENxCIEN, we explore how uncertainty is measured, how it affects the economy, and why, in a world full of narratives and noise, learning how to live with it is essential for making better decisions.

What’s the cost of not being sustainable? Series: Sustainability, Women in Economy
Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow? That is what living sustainably is about: concerning ourselves not only with our own needs today but also with the needs of future generations. If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.
