Stan Cox, author of The Green New Deal and Beyond, will join his Ecosphere Studies colleagues Wes Jackson, Aubrey Streit Krug, and Robert Jensen in a discussion of the need for climate policies that go far beyond new technology, carbon taxes, and other market-based approaches.
They will talk about how fossil fuels can and must be eliminated from the economy directly, by law, and on the tightest of schedules. They will explore, as well, the fundamental changes that our society will have to go through in order to adapt to strict ecological boundaries.
All registered attendees will receive a Zoom link on the day of the event.
