Dear {usertag:name}
This should be an interesting forum for those who would like to attend.
Public forum with special international guest speaker Ann Pettifor (UK) and Ian Lowe (Griffith University).
Australia is about to make its first important step towards a zero carbon economy by making the 500 most polluting companies pay for the carbon they put into the atmosphere and supporting the development of clean energy sources. But a carbon price alone will not be enough to transform our economy and society into one that is ecologically sustainable.
Ann Pettifor is a British economist and campaigner for justice and ecological sustainability. She is a member of the Green New Deal working group in the UK a group focused on working out practical ways to make the global economic system fairer give workers a better deal wind back the power of corporations and the big banks and at the same time lead the necessary transformation to ecological sustainability.
