  Prout and Other Progressive Movements

  with Roar Bjonnes

  
  

  Content: Roar Bjonnes will explore the intersections and divergences between several influential economic and social movements that have commonalities with Prout. These include Doughnut Economics, Degrowth, the New Economy Movement, The Progressive International, the Green Party, Bioregional Movements, and various Local Economy movements in the southern hemisphere. Each of these frameworks and its leaders offer unique perspectives on how to achieve a more equitable and sustainable world. Understanding the similarities and differences between Prout and these movements is crucial for fostering collaboration, creating a comprehensive approach to addressing global and local challenges, and last but not least to help spread more in depth knowledge about Prout. 

  Roar Bjonnes has been a Prout activist for over four decades and is the author of two books on its theory and practice--"Growing a New Economy" and "Principles of a Balanced Economy". He is the co-founder of Systems Change Alliance and a regular contributor to various blogs and publications.

  Climate Change Adaptation through Economic Democracy

  with Shriraksha Mohan

  
  

  Description: As global climate change poses a serious threat to humanity's survival, equitable and just climate change adaptation has become the focus of several climate movements, social justice groups, governments, and international organizations. Climate sciences and studies have concluded that climate change not only impacts the planet's natural ecosystems, but also has cascading negative consequences on society and the economy. The existing paradigm of economic development has created vast wealth and resource inequality. The inequality further exacerbates the ill effects of climate change and makes vulnerable communities bear a disproportionate amount of the burden of climate catastrophes. This necessitates replacing the system that created the climate crisis with a holistic new vision for development to enable a justice-based climate change adaptation and sustainable growth. This discussion aims to find an alignment between holistic models of development such as Prout, policy proposals such as job guarantee programs, democratic and de-commodified work, and grassroots climate movements to strengthen communities through economic democracy and enable a justice-based climate change adaptation through resilient local economies.
