SYMPOSIUM: A Green �New Deal�? Confronting Climate Change, Peak Oil and the Financial Crisis

The New Economics Foundation in the United Kingdom is just one group to call for a ‘Green New Deal’ – an attempt to develop a single approach to address the three main policy challenges of our time. Western Australia is particularly well positioned to lead a push for a new economic and environmental mode of thought.

This seminar brings together key players in the debates surrounding these issues, in order to breathe new life into the case for urgent and coordinated public policy action.

The seminar is hosted by the Institute of Advanced Studies, the Western Australian Policy Forum and the Institute for Progressive Policy.
