The talk will explore how a new economy that is good for people, nature and climate is possible, even amid global instability and crisis.
Ani Dasgupta (President and CEO, World Resources Institute) will share insights from his The New Global Possible, exploring the economic transition that is underway across the world to a clean economy that is good for nature and for people and how to orchestrate change for good.
He proposes that the question is no longer if the transition will happen, but how. The book presentation will be followed by an open discussion about how to harness innovation, dismantle entrenched power structures and build a clean, resilient economy.
