Green Economics –
This conference will take place at the Said Business School, a college of Oxford University, on the 16th 17th 18th August 2019 our and 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 introduce and explore the different regimes around the world with the help of NGOs governments and ambassadors and look at the implementation policies of countries around the world.
