Latest Festival Flyer update from Greenbelt
[ad_1]
We’re thrilled that Kate Raworth is in the first raft of announcements for this summer’s festival. She’s a renegade ecological economist, committed to the rewiring of economics to make it fit for 21st-century challenges. If we’re going to make the needs of everyone fit the means of the planet, we need a new economic mindset.
If you’ve seen Kate before at Greenbelt (or if you haven’t), you won’t want to miss out. She’s going to be taking part in an interactive ‘We need to talk about growth’ session in our Hot House venue. She’ll be focussing on our culture of ‘growth is good’, by examining the last century’s social and ecological implications of GDP growth, and open up a live audience debate on ‘green growth vs degrowth’.
Over the past 25 years, Kate’s career has taken her from working with micro-entrepreneurs in the villages of Zanzibar to a decade as Senior Researcher at Oxfam. Her international best-selling book, Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think like a 21st Century Economist, has been translated into more than 20 languages. It’s been widely influential with everyone from the UN General Assembly and Pope Francis to Extinction Rebellion.

Kate Raworth, Eve Poole and Mike Berners Lee, all in the Bright Field, have between them radically changed the way I think about life, society, the environment and how I behave. Keep bringing the amazing speakers, Greenbelt Festival – you’re changing the world! 💚
