Reporting back from our own lively delegation at Copenhagen COP15 Conference and
looking forward to Mexico COP15 Climate Change Conference
Civil Society
Where are we now? What is the meaning of protest? Who is really running the climate change debate? Sceptics—how they delayed an agreement, who are they?
Reforming the United Nations, legal reforms needed in the 21st century
21st century economics, beyond the Stern Report. How do we plan to prevent, adapt and mitigate for global environmental change. The future of civilisation and the future of humanity, at the cross roads. Which road have we taken and what are the implications?
Gender issues in the 21st century - the most urgent and pressing problem.
What does green economics mean today? Progress towards a definition
As a fast moving, visionary and topical field, it is always necessary to continue to ask this fundamental question; something orthodox economics fails to do, which has lead to the distortion of its aims and its disjointedness with the real world.
So what are the latest research findings and discussions on this topic?
Green economics solutions to the current economic crisis
The current crisis provides the opportunity to align consumption with resources and rebalance towards services rather than goods. How can we act on the new opportunities the crisis provides? What are the short term and long term solutions? What is the future of financial markets?
Lower growth, lower carbon economics, sustainable development
economics?
The Balkans, Green Issues in Italy and latest developments from our team in Africa
This conference is part of the world's leading conference series in green economics. Internationally-renowned composite, multidisciplinary scientists, economists, campaigners, policy makers and directors, professors, social scientists and researchers from all over the globe continue to attend this very popular series, to present their frontier research findings and to keep up to date with latest achievements and developments in this fast moving, leading, and topical field.
Green economics views the current downturn as a clash between ecology and economy and argues that the commodity instability is a symptom of the exhaustion of natural resources. The markets are correctly reflecting that and are indicating that traditional economics instruments and derivatives are no longer working, and new methods of creating a natural economics of abundance need to be urgently developed.
The world has changed and green economics is a school of economics that is comfortable with long term-ism, equity, climate issues, biodiversity costs and poverty prevention. Green economics has been waiting to take on the mantle and that time has now arrived!
We look forward to welcoming you to Oxford University, one of the most beautiful cities in the world with its famous, outstanding and atmospheric conference facilities, excellent travel connections and accommodation.
