Sessions at Ecosocialism Conference 2023
1. How capitalism destroys the environment
Capitalism is a system that prioritises profits over everything. Every year global leaders meet and pledge to do something but still the environmental damage continues. This session will hear why our current economic system is incompatible with life on Earth.
Speakers:
Simon Pirani author and editor of the People and Nature blog
Clara Paillard, trade union activist focussing on environmental issues
2. Should we “degrow” the economy?
Some say that we need to degrow the economy and reduce economic activity to deal with the environmental crisis whilst others believe this will negatively impact people and we need a different approach. Come and join the debate.
Speakers:
Matt Huber author of Climate Change as Class War
Elke Pirgmaier editor at Degrowth.info and contributing editor of Growth in Transition
3. Developing an ecosocialist strategy
Speakers from campaigns on the front line against global warming and environmental degradation and a chance to contribute on how we can organise an ecosocialist movement after the conference.
Speakers
Alia Amirali an activist in the Awami Workers Party Pakistan
Max Ajl author of A People’s Green New Deal
Noah Herfort co-founder of Climate Vanguard.
