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.
Tickets are FREE, but bookings are essential.
