Building Community Wealth from the Hydrogen Economy
Event description
Roundtable Description
An Ethical Fields hosted roundtable discussion on the intersection of the hydrogen economy, innovation and community wealth building. We believe this is a unique moment to reconfigure the economy to benefit regional communities and all of Australia. An opportunity that will be missed if we don't move quickly.
We are hosting a conversation with peers to explore how we can practically apply community wealth building as part of this transition. We'd love your input.
