Unforeseen financial crises. Extreme wealth inequality. Relentless pressure on the environment. Can we go on like this? Is there an alternative?
Economist Kate Raworth, author of the internationally acclaimed Doughnut Economics, offers a radical re-envisioning of the system that has brought us to the point of ruin. She is joined in conversation by Miatta Fahnbulleh, Chief Executive of the New Economics Foundation, who has a wealth of experience in developing and delivering policy to empower communities and change people’s lives.
Discover how we can bring humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet.
Our event will begin with an introduction by Danielle Walker Palmour, Director of the Friends Provident Foundation. Under her leadership, the Foundation has built an international reputation for innovative funding and investment practice and is at the forefront of rethinking the role of philanthropic resources in the UK.
Presented in collaboration with the Friends Provident Foundation
