ABOUT EARTH ECONOMICS WEEK 2025
The current globalised economic system - driven by extractivism, expansion and material growth - is destroying the living world. Over the past 50 years, a range of important alternative economic systems have been proposed to replace 'neo-classical' or 'growth' economics - including Steady State, Doughnut, Wellbeing and Degrowth Economics. But what difference have they made? Are our economic systems changing? What approaches are working? Join us for a week of important discussions about our economic systems, the alternatives that are possible and what we can do to shift away from the extractivism that is destroying the living world.
