EE4ALL Earth Day Event From Limits to Growth to an Earth4All Recording is Ready!

The recording for our inspiring Ecological Economics for All’s annual Earth Day event in partnership with Earth4All, The Donella Meadows Project, Rethinking Economics UVM, Rethinking Economics USA, The Gund Institute, USSEE, and the Leadership for the Ecozoic is ready!

Watch the replay!
 

Our event with the relevant theme «From Limits to Growth to an Earth4All» featured the unstoppable Sandrine Dixon-Declève, co-President of the Club of Rome, who presented about the urgent need to implement the 5 turnarounds in women empowerment, inequality, poverty, food and energy systems to achieve systems change in North American and the world in this decade of action.

Her exciting presentation was followed by an engaging conversation with Rigo Melgar and ISEE’s Rep. Lizah Makombore on the need for an economic transformation in North America and beyond to achieve wellbeing within planetary boundaries for all.

Our goal with this event is to create awareness in our Ecological Economics community in the US and around the world about the new Earth for All: A Surviving Guide for Humanity report to the Club of Rome 50 years after the earth-shattering Limits to Growth report by Meadows et al. which has greatly influenced the fields of ecological and biophysical economics, among others. Please share widely!

If you missed last year’s Earth Day event on the 50th Anniversary of Limits to Growth, feel free to check it out at https://youtu.be/SV0eFArK9wU.

The ISEE Journal, Ecological Economics

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between «nature’s household» (ecosystems) and «humanity’s household» (the economy).

Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics.

The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
