ECONOMICS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: GLOBAL TO LOCAL

A meeting in 3 parts:

• Herman Daly, Tim Jackson, Charles Eisenstein, Kate Raworth, and more. Global thinkers challenging the current paradigms. We will briefly look at some of the ideas around the world.
• How might our government’s new ‘wellbeing’ component in economic reporting connect environmentally? How might tax changes help?
• What about us? The local economic realities of environmental groups working in Canterbury. Can any local initiatives and local joined-up thinking help break the economic barriers to our effectiveness?

There will be a range of speakers each sharing a few minutes of input but the focus of this meeting is to interact and share ideas.

All welcome.
