Dr Kubiszewski and Dr Roll discuss the need to rethink the whole financial system and institutions in order to address global inequality and climate vulnerability.
Dr Kubiszewski warns against using GDP as a measure for wellbeing, which doesn’t account for inequality.
She also highlights the need to tackle the most pressing issues we’re facing, from mass displacement to the climate emergency, at a global level, and the reality that we cannot afford not to.
The cost of living and other things are happening because we’re not investing in some of these global issues. Whether you’re looking at climate change, inequality or the SDGs, they’re all connected. And if we don’t deal with them at a global level, things will get worse.”
Dr Kubiszewski said.
