An economy designed for wellbeing – what will it take?
Event description
You are warmly invited to hear Gareth Hughes talk about the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa on Thursday 1 December.
REGISTRATION NEEDED - please register here (Buy Ticket) to be sure of a place (we have limited zoom capacity). This webinar will be recorded and on our website.
The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) is a global alliance of organisations and individuals working on practical ways to move from an economic system based on endless growth and short-term profit to one designed for the well-being of all people and the planet within our resource limits.
Gareth will outline practical steps we can take to make this transition and build on modern economic ideas such as Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics, steady-state or circular economy and degrowth and how he is working with WEAll to build a movement in Aotearoa to make this happen.
Gareth has spent his entire adult life working for progressive causes - as a Greenpeace campaigner, as a Green MP and an activist. He’s taken part in non-violent direct action, has passed laws and led campaigns that helped end offshore oil exploration in New Zealand and more.
We are excited to host Gareth as we feel he and WEAll share our sense of the urgency of this moment, and the deep transformational changes needed to meet the climate and social justice crises that we face.
