Economy and livelihoods after Covid-19 – Session 3: Post COVID-19 challenges and options for green recovery in sub Saharan Africa.

A global on-line symposium of the international degrowth network and the International Society for Ecological Economics. September 1 to 4

Join us for this symposium over four days. We’ll be considering the implications of the global Covid-19 pandemic for economy and livelihoods. The Covid-19 pandemic and responses to it have had deeply  unequal impacts on lives, livelihoods and well-being across race, gender and class.  At the same time it has opened up the space for new possibilities for building alternative livelihoods and economies that can take us beyond a capitalist economy that requires ever expanding growth.  Will we go back to business as usual with all the ecological, social and economic risks that will bring or take the path towards a new kind of economy that provides for human needs of all while restoring and protecting the natural world that we all depend on?

The event will be via Zoom for 500 participants. For each session, access will be on a first come – first served basis. However, It will be simultaneously live-streamed on YouTube. Full details to log in or view the live-stream will be circulated to participants and the live-stream link will be publicised here and at associated sites. If you find you can’t attend, having booked, please cancel your ticket here so others can attend.
