Curiosity Session and Shared Meal with Rethinking Economics

The climate crisis demands significant societal transformation, yet the economic systems within which governments operate make necessary green transitions difficult to achieve. What exactly characterizes these economic frameworks, and how do they influence our capacity for climate-friendly change that also ensures social justice?

This curiosity session explores how economics shapes society and our understanding of climate challenges and transitions. Drawing on perspectives from various economic traditions and cultural works, the session questions central economic ideas about growth, value, and cost-benefit analysis that dominate professional discourse. Participants leave with fresh perspectives, expanded economic vocabulary, and greater confidence to engage in public discussions about society's future direction.

The event combines debate and discussion with shared dining, creating space for deeper engagement and informal exchange of ideas among participants.
