Conference Announcement and Call for Papers

1th -18th August 2019 Saud Business School.

14th Annual Green Economics Institute’s Conference,

to be held at Said Business School, University of Oxford

Green Economics – The first 15 years of Green Economics in Governments around the world: Grown up economics for a fairer world.

Follow in Gretas Footsteps

“Out of date economics should be recognised as a dangerous mental condition.” Sir Crispin Tickell July 2016.

This conference will debate the current opportunities and implementation of 14 years of green economics progress and how the Green Economy has been brought in to help with development in Africa and by the United Nations in the fight to stabilise the climate. It will look at new regimes for managing international trade and for a philosophy of economics which is much more equal and fairer for everyone. It will explore new models- which do not involve the lurching from left to right of ideologies but put people and planet and other species first and centre stage. From The UK Cabinet Office, to Bhuttan, India and Khazakstan to China and beyond everyone has been asking us to explain the Green Economy to them. Many ministers have wanted to implement our ideas.

We will debate the different regimes and look at the implementation policies of countries around the world.

Around the world

The Green Economics Project of spreading Green Economics around the world is now entering its 15th year and most governments around the world are engaged in some green economics activity. The General Secretary of the United Nations has argued that it is the green economy which will save the climate – the single biggest crisis of our times.

We set a New Enhanced Ambition for the World’s Economy

The Green Economics Institute has raised the ambition of the COP Process from COP 21 onwards and continues to drive it.

It is now setting its sights on doing the same for the worlds economy and economics to modernise it and make it fit for the 21st century and beyond and meeting todays challenges.

This conference benchmarks the latest information from the policy makers, activities, NGOs and Academics in an Oxford style environment in order to chart the path for the next and most vital 15 years of activity and its local impacts,

The conference will welcome NGOS, business, Policy Makers, Government departments, ambassadors from many countries round the world as well as economists, geographers, environmentalists and philosophers to find faster and better implementation of the green economy, green jobs and green structures with which to tackle todays problems. We need to satisfy the school children on the street who want to know what each generation is actually doing to sort the mess out and to ensure there is a world for them to grow up in.
