En noviembre los gobernantes del mundo vuelven a juntarse, esta vez en Marrakech, para afrontar el reto de combatir el cambio climático. Desde la firma del Acuerdo de París, poco se ha avanzado y existe el temor de haber definido objetivos y no existir un plan de acción que los respalden.
Muchas somos las personas que, desde diversos foros, venimos insistiendo en la necesidad de transformar el actual modelo económico si de verdad queremos afrontar los retos del cambio climático. Es por ello por lo que desde el Global Hub for the Common Good, en colaboración con la prestigiosa New Economics Foundation (NEF), hemos organizado esta Webinar con reconocidos expertos internacionales para preguntarles sobre los retos y vinculaciones entre el modelo económico y el cambio climático.
La Webinar será abierta y en inglés, y personalmente se la aconsejo a todas aquellas personas con especial sensibilidad e interés en este tema.
Nos vemos el martes 8 de noviembre de 1pm a 2pm (hora Europea).

Let´s change the economy to save the climate
The New Economics Foundation (NEF) and The Global Hub for the Common Good are delighted to invite you to the OPEN Webinar: Change the economy to save the climate.
This action is organised under the framework of the Global Forum NESI “New Economy and Social Innovation” that will take place 19-22 April 2017 in Malaga (Spain) as a meeting place for change-makers working to co-create a more sustainable, fair, collaborative and people-oriented new economy.
Description
In February 2015, Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of UNFCCC, talking about how to face climate change, stated:
“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history”
In December 2016 nations and international leaders celebrated the Paris Agreement. What has happened to Figueres´ statement? What actions can we take to put this critical statement back at the heart of the UNFCCC process and of the international efforts in general? What are the connections between the current economic system and the climate challenges? How can the different actors (civil society, businesses, institutions, academics) collaborate to catalyse those changes?
