Oxford Indymedia

An alternative to the current economic crisis

Elise | 28.01.2009 19:03 | Climate Chaos | Globalisation | Oxford

A Public meeting and discussion with co-authors Caroline Lucas (South East Region MEP and Leader of the Green Party) and Colin Hines (Co-Director of Forum for the Future and former Head of Greenpeace International's Economics Unit).
Thursday January 29, 7.30pm - Assembly Rooms, Oxford Town Hall

The Green New Deal offers radical and practical solutions to today's Triple Crunch of Climate Change, Peak Oil and Financial Collapse. The proposals combine short-term stabilisation with long-term investment in green jobs, restructuring of energy, financial and taxation system. Ideas for action are to take place at local, national, regional and global levels. Apparently too radical as a whole for the larger political parties, though adopted as policy by the Green Party, parts are being taken up by economists, politicians and political commentators looking for real solutions to the current economic and environmental crises.

The Green New Deal was published by New Economics Foundation and put together by the Green New Deal Group which includes Caroline and Colin, Larry Elliot (Economics Editor of the Guardian), Tony Juniper and Charles Secrett (former Directors of Friends of the Earth), Anne Pettifor (former head of the Jubilee 2000 Debt Relief Campaign and Campaign Director of Operation Noah), Andrew Simms (Policy Director New Economics Foundation), Jeremy Leggett (founder and Chairman of Solar Century and SolarAid), and Richard Murphy (Co-director of Finance for the Future and Director Tax Research UK).

After Caroline and Colin have spoken there will be the opportunity for as many people as possible to put forward their own views on "The Green New Deal". If you want to read "The Green New Deal" beforehand download it at  http://www.neweconomics.org/
