Today’s corporate, capitalist economy is radically unequal, ecologically unsustainable, and embedded in recurring boom-and-bust cycles of crisis. Not surprisingly, people are looking for alternatives. What if, instead of tweaking the system to reduce the damage, we reorganized entirely so that both local and national economies produced better outcomes for people, communities and the planet in the first place?  That’s the essence of community wealth building, the focus of this episode with guest host Laura Flanders, featuring Democracy Collaborative Distinguished Senior Fellow, Marjorie Kelly; Preston City Council Member, Matthew Brown in the UK; and community wealth building adviser to the Scottish Government, Neil McInroy. This episode is part 2 of a 4-part series exploring how communities are working to transform their local economies by harnessing their assets, anchoring capital and resources locally to directly invest in that place and its people – from land to money and finance.

Skills for the green and digital transition Thursday, 19 September 2024 : 09:30 – 10:45 Green and digital transitions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. While digital technologies facilitate the monitoring and management of environmental resources and processes, sustainability principles can guide the development and deployment of digital solutions in a responsible manner. Potential job losses due to digitalisation may be partially compensated by the green transition. Both transitions also create new jobs and require new skills for the successful and just transition for all. This session will address the following questions: What are essential effects from the green and digital transitions on jobs and skills? What skills (digital and beyond) are required to minimize and mitigate the impact of climate change, including from the digital transition itself? What are policy measures and good practice examples of skills development for just green and digital transitions?

This poses challenges to employers, workers, educators, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders in the digital transformation ecosystem. This session will bring together different stakeholders, to address the following questions: Which economic sectors will be most impacted by AI technologies? What key skills will be most influenced by AI advancements? What are concrete examples of AI technologies (e.g. generative AI technologies) that will shape future skills and jobs? What are effective policy measures to address those needs and challenges? How should Governments respond?
