Green New Deal: Economic Growth vs. Biodiversity?
Green New Deal: Economic Growth vs. Biodiversity?
Does a Green New Deal replace “grow or die” with a different logic that nurtures people and the rest of the natural world? How do 8 billion people flourish while also preserving, protecting, and restoring biodiversity all over the planet? Climate change activists are weaving a holistic and inclusive narrative about ecology, justice, and economic equality with roots in 19th century workers’ movements and recent environmental justice campaigns. Can a Green New Deal really bring radical social-ecological transformation or should we expect an elaborate green-washing of capitalism’s imperatives? With Scott Edmondson, Ildiko Polony, Letitia Grenier

RSVP shaping@foundsf.orgExplore Shaping San Francisco:
Ecology Emerges
Discussions and reflections on the history of Bay Area ecological activism, based on oral histories documenting the past 50 years.
Ecology Emerges is an oral history gathering project to explore the past 50 years of ecological activism in the Bay Area and the role that individual and institutional memories play in the development, policy proposals, and interrelationships that together make up the existing networks of ecological politics. We document the living ecological activist movement, in their own words, but also in a larger context of urban growth and globalization.
Oral Histories
Shaping San Francisco, as part of our ongoing work, sits down with people who have stories to tell and conducts oral history interviews.
Check them out here.
