SPEAKERS
Gaya Herrington, Vice President, Sustainability Research, Schneider Electric
An economy that prioritizes growth above all else has led us to the brink of social and environmental breakdown. Gaya will share what a 50-year old MIT model that warned us about this polycrisis reveals about a way forward today, and the opportunity for human and ecological flourishing that lies in this economic transformation, answering questions like: What does prosperity look like in a postgrowth world? What is the role of finance in an economy that centers around human and ecological wellbeing? What can I do to contribute to this economic systems change?
