What the event covered
This webinar covered the latest ideas on how we could transform society and ecology to provide for our well-being in both a democratic and sustainable way.
In this engaging webinar, invited speakers talked about how ‘provisioning systems’ – the ways we collectively organize our livelihoods – can enable wellbeing within planetary limits.
Discussion points included how to democratize provisioning systems as a prerequisite for living well within limits, and creating better provisioning systems for people and the planet.
