Nobel Prize Summit: Transformational Economics - Valuing Our Future

The Club of Rome

On day 3 of the Nobel Prize Summit, this Solution Session hosted by Club of Rome explores transformational economic thinking and leadership.

<h2>Humanity is now the largest driver of change on Earth. To minimize risk of climate change and biodiversity loss, this next decade must see the fastest economic transformation in history and at a global scale. </h2><h3>How does economic thinking accommodate these facts? How do economists make sense of this new responsibility for our planet? Ultimately, if we are to value our future we need to value resilience in societies and in nature. This Solution Session looks into the future with speakers who are leading on this transformation.</h3><p>In 2020, the <a href="https://www.clubofrome.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Club of Rome</a> launched the Transformational Economics Commission, a group of leading economic thinkers, to address the triple crises of health-climate-biodiversity within the growing global problematique of socio-political and economic instability. The transdisciplinary and gender diverse experts from across the globe will focus on shifting short-term economics into long-term systems change by unpacking key systems dynamics and future-proofing a new 21st century narrative. The Commission is part of the major new international project <a href="https://www.clubofrome.org/impact-hubs/reframing-economics/new-initiative-on-transformational-economics-earth4all-launched/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EarthForAll </a>which will publish a report in 2022, marking the 50th Anniversary of the &#x27;Limits to Growth&#x27;.</p><p>This <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/our-planet-our-future-day-three/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Solution Session</a> will explore new economic thinking that will contribute to building fairer, resilient societies on a resilient planet, introduce the EarthForAll project and discuss the role of philanthropy in this context .
