Video: Transformational Economics to Meet Net-Zero

#RaceToZero dialogues session hosted by the Club of Rome and the Potsdam Institute; with Sharan Burrow, Naoko Ishi, Jayati Ghosh, Maja Göpel and Tim Jackson
November 2020

The next decade will see the fastest economic transformation in history. Who is leading this transformation? How do we accelerate action?

On the last day of the Race To Zero Dialogues 2020, the Club of Rome and the Potsdam Institute hosted a closing session, that marked the end of a ten-day series of virtual dialogues, with the objective to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonised economy ahead of COP26. Titled Transformational Leadership, the session brought together political, business, science and academic leaders whose work is ground-breaking on this economic transformation.

Further details about the programme can be found on the Event page. The videos are available on Youtube.

Sluggish recovery in the wake of the financial crisis has revived discussion of a ‘secular stagnation’. These conditions have been blamed for rising inequality and political instability. Tim Jackson contests this view, pointing instead to a steadfast refusal to address the ‘post-growth challenge’.
