The current economy is not working. You know this. So what does transitioning to a truly functioning society look like? And for those who say 'well that's too costly' - Sandrine Dixson-Declève calls bullshit. Join me for my 100th episode of Smarter Impact, as Sandrine and I discuss causes for hope, how societies are responding to the pain of a post 1.5 degree warming world, and what is needed from our Government and Citizen leaders. If that's you, this short discussion includes the two questions to ask yourself in the mirror, that will let you know if you're on the right path! We cover a lot of ground; - European renewable price parity - Pushback from incumbent fossil producers - 98% of the European economy is driven by small and medium enterprises whilst regulators and legislators predominantly focus on the 2% - Marco Lambertini and the Nature Positive Initiative - CEO pay, inflation and earnings - Dr. Bronner's 5 to 1 salary cap (I misquoted as 10 to 1) - Norges Bank , BHP and Fortescue - How Australia can lead the world at COP31 - A just energy transition inclusive of First Nations Sandrine is Co-President of The Club of Rome , Author and Chair at Earth4All , and we had this discussion during her presentation at the University of Melbourne 's Faculty of Business and Economics, facilitated by Rosemary Addis , whilst she was on tour thanks to the Centre for Policy Development , and supported by Diane Bowles and co on the day. Tomorrow I head into the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) Climate Finance and Investment Summit, led by Rebecca Mikula-Wright and titled 'Mission 1.5 degrees' - which is quite the banner headline to be aiming at considering what we know. What did you learn in this brief chat, and how honestly can you answer the two questions posed? Thank you for leaving a comment, giving this a like and resharing, it helps! #climate #strategy #investment #renumeration #impact #finance #government #business #investing #ecology

💬 In a new interview, Earth4All's executive chair Sandrine Dixson-Declève points out that people are increasingly questioning the kind of life they want and what truly matters - with over two thirds of G20 citizens wanting a wellbeing economy, where people have dignity and safety with basic needs met and their voices heard. She argues that it's time for governments to look beyond productivity and competitiveness, and recognise that last century's ways of measuring success were not set up for 21st-century challenges.
