Consumerism (and Economics)

This session explores the issue of economic growth versus care for the planet, and how consumerism affects both.
About this Event

Economic growth is considered an essential requirement for nations by economists, businesses, and politicians, alike. At the same time, environmentalists criticise the adverse effects of uncontrolled economic growth on the environment. Is it possible to take care of the planet and grow the nation's economy at the same time?

Staffan Engström was for many years a corporate executive and strategist in companies with multi-billion turnover, tasked with growth as a key priority. This session explores, through Staffan's personal experience and the principles of Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics, how the needs of planet and economic growth work together and in conflict, and the requirements for establishing a wise economy.
