Cambridge Forum
Date and time
Tuesday, March 16, 2021

How can we achieve healthy growth, the kind that is more regenerative than wasteful, more equitable than unjust? Per Espen Stoknes and L. Hunter Lovins believe they have the answers. Both are experts in the field, having written books that offer blueprints for an inspiring regenerative economy that avoids collapse and works for people and the planet. If you want to learn more about the Doughnut-Theory of Economics, which will be discussed in the program, here are links to two excellent articles: "Three Cities Switching To Life-Affirming Economies" https://www.yesmagazine.org/issue/ecological-civilization/2021/02/16/cities-life-affirming-economies/ "Amsterdam Is Embracing a Radical New Economic Theory to Help Save the Environment. Could It Also Replace Capitalism?" https://time.com/5930093/amsterdam-doughnut-economics/ This talk is part of the Cambridge Forum's series, _Transformations_. Image: Pexels.com
