TTI Webinar: Building Resilient Local Economies
Today, humanity has a choice between two diametrically opposing paths: on the one hand, global economic forces, with the help of algorithms, are pushing for an ever-more competitive, urban, fast-paced technological future; at the same time, from the bottom up, there is a widespread cultural turning towards more cooperative, feminine, community-based, ecological futures. People are recognizing that connection, both to others and to Nature, is the true wellspring of happiness. In almost every country, farmers’ markets, permaculture, community co-ops, local finance and business alliances, place-based education and nature reconnection testify to this great shift in values. In these ways, people are already sowing the seeds for a very different future, and demonstrating the way forward, towards a localised future.
Localisation brings us back to the complex, interdependent web of life that is not only the real economy, but a perpetual source of wonder and fulfilment. It is the key to solving our seemingly endless ecological crises. The antidote to consumer capitalism. A guiding principle to take us back home: to community, to the natural world, and to prosperous, place-based economies. A shift in direction with the potential to change the world.
Join us on November 19 for an exclusive online TTI Webinar: Building Resilient Local Economies.
Helena Norberg-Hodge, Founder and Director of Local Futures, will share inspiring examples from around the globe of how local economies are being rebuilt for sustainability and resilience.
Joining her will be Alessa Berg, Founder and CEO of Top Tier Impact, as we dive into the key steps needed to accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable future.
See you there!
