This event launches three important publication that contribute to this debate from the perspective of planning. Participants will hear from the authors and editors of these publications as well as a keynote lecture by Simonetta Tunesi, a leading commentator from Italy. The arguments for the limit to growth will be addressed as well as the challenges of implementation. Alternative perspectives on how to move beyond the reliance on growth will be presented and discussed with the audience.
