Session 1 - CHANGE THE GOAL
- Economics has been fixated on GDP and growth which has been used to justify extreme inequalities and unprecedented destruction of the living world
- We need a new and bigger goal: meeting the human rights of every person within the means of our life-giving planet.
- The challenge now is to create economies—local to global—that help to bring all of humanity into the Doughnut’s safe and just space.
- Instead of pursuing ever-increasing GDP, it is time to discover how to thrive in balance.
