Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: The failures of the Global Economic System
Jul 17, 2023
“Of all of these four objectives that I call sustainable development. 1. Material Sufficiency; 2. Social Justice; 3. Environmental sustainability; and 4. Peace; we’re off track on all of them” – Prof. Jeffrey Sachs.
“Nothing about the international economy guarantees the end of poverty or social justice. There’s nothing in the global economic system that automatically protects the environment. “
“How can we cooperate to achieve the objectives?”
Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs: World-renowned economist, and leader in sustainable development
The Global Institute For Tomorrow recently had the privilege of interviewing four global experts to find answers to some of the critical questions of our time. These range from understanding what balanced development is and what geopolitics for equality looks like, to questions about purpose beyond profit, and recalibrating our relationship with the environment.
The insights shared by these speakers are being premiered on 27th July, 2023, in a free-to-access video production entitled Why Act Now: The World in 2050.
The speakers include:
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE: World-leading ethologist and environmentalist
Monsignor Prof. Obiora Ike: Distinguished academic and expert in societal transformation
Dr. Brian Wong: Geopolitical strategist and political philosopher.
The ideas shared by these speakers are powerful and insightful in helping us to understand the troubled state of the world – including where it is headed.
We are aiming to make this a global event with thousands of attendees – sharing ideas on the frontline of thinking to help organisations respond to the complexities of the 21st century central to GIFT.ed’s mission.
