Transforming Our Economy

About this Custom Collection

Inspired by the Capital Institute's Third Millennium Economy initiative, this collection highlights those voices - ecological economists, sociologist, finance professionals, environmentalists, community developers - advocating a restructuring of our economy to transition to a truly sustainable economic system.

At the Sustainable Cities, Sustainable Transport forum, Prof Will Steffen gives a comprehensive and frankly terrifying overview of the multiple challenges facing humanity. We are eating into the capital of the Earth. He identifies flash point where too fast and too great of change may lead to collapse.  
He believes the future wil depend on some very fundamental things, not just on economic instruments or new rules and regulations, but the nature of our aspirations, our values, our preferences and our choices. It will take nothing less than a transformation to avoid a collapse scenario. 

Prof Will Steffen is Executive Director of the ANU Climate Change Institute. This forum was organised by Roger Taylor in collaboration with the Australia Fabian Society. Melbourne, March 2009
