Virtual | Transforming Global Economies: From Extraction to Regeneration in a Just Transition

Transforming Global Economies: From Extraction to Regeneration in a Just Transition

Thursday, September 26, 11:00 - 12:30pm ET NYC Time

Virtual event, register here. 

Our current economic system relentlessly extracts resources from the Earth, fueling climate chaos and exploiting both people and the planet. It's time for bold, regenerative solutions to transform global economies! To secure a healthy and equitable future, we must change our global economic system and champion a regenerative, rights-based approach that prioritizes communities and nature, tackling the root causes of our intertwined social, economic, and climate crises.

Join us for an inspiring event where global women leaders will shine a light on Just Transition and innovative economic models, solutions, and frameworks. Topics include community-led initiatives, feminist economics, Indigenous wisdom, beyond-growth economies, and traditional practices of reciprocity with the Earth. Engage in dynamic discussions on emerging, socially just, place-based, and ecologically enriching economic models that offer a clear path to a thriving future for all.
