On May 14th, we officially launched the project “Transformative Responses to the Crisis” with joint call from international economists and organisations. In the call, we demand new policy approaches focused on resilience. The call will be published simultaneously in several European newspapers.
This initiative is very welcome, badly needed and hopefully will help to overcome a deeply flawed economic and financial system that is not sustainable, leaves basic needs of billions of people unmet, widens the gap between the the rich and the poor, relies on the misconcept of permanent economic growth and is thus wrecking our planet and a healthy climate on which a sustainable economy, health and wellbeing fundamentally rely on.
