About

How can we decarbonize our economy? The first two events of this series explored diverse ideas and approaches for tackling this question, ranging from Green to Post- to Degrowth. This third event brings them together to establish commonalities and differences, clarify misunderstandings, and to start building bridges for the fight against climate change and the shared goal: paving the way toward a truly sustainable future. After all, whether Green, Post-, or Degrowth, they all aspire toward this same goal and a good life for all. The urgency and dimension of the task at hand calls for overcoming differences and joining forces, wherever possible. There is no time to waste!

We are happy to welcome Professor Daniel Fiorino from the Center for Environmental Policy at the American University, and Beth Stratford, ESRC-funded PhD-student at the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds and Fellow at the New Economics Foundation, who will join us in this endeavor. Sophie Röhrl, EMJMD Student in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management (MESPOM) at the Central European University and Lund University and scholar of the Foundation of German Business, will moderate the event.
