These live sessions spotlight bold thinkers and fresh ideas, diving into the vital topics explored by longlisted and shortlisted books.
Redefining Growth
Global challenges like climate change, geopolitical tensions, inequality, and poverty are reshaping growth in both developing and advanced economies. In this era of rapid change, some argue that the costs of traditional growth models may necessitate “degrowth.” Others believe growth is still essential but must be redefined to go beyond GDP, incorporating wider economic, social, and environmental outcomes, including wellbeing, inclusiveness, sustainability, and resilience. How can we improve the quality of growth? What new pathways to better growth can align with long-term societal and environmental progress while minimising trade-offs? How can better growth be also realised at both the organisational and individual levels?
This webinar will explore the future of growth, examining how we can reassess growth models and policies to enhance the quality of growth as a means of achieving societal goals, including environmental sustainability, reduced inequality, greater wellbeing, and improved resilience.
