The green shoots of the new economy | LSE Festival

We know that governments across the world are acting far too slowly in tackling the ecological crisis across its many dimensions, but can we usefully look elsewhere for radical action? Can we even find new solutions in in the most unexpected places - from innovative firms and financial actors emerging in an otherwise ecologically destructive capitalism? The panel will discuss whether SME and large private firms and financial actors can develop solutions not just in technology, but by more radically rethinking their social form and purpose. Is it actually possible for firms and finance to buck the trend of destructive economic activity, and if so, how? What challenges do these emergent actors face in scaling up those activities, and what do those challenges teach us about the next steps we need to take to develop a less destructive, altogether more regenerative form of economic activity and thought?
