The world鈥檚 greatest 21st century challenge is the climate crisis, and the Green New Deal has become shorthand for a range of systemic policy ideas and economic initiatives developed to confront this 鈥榳icked鈥� problem. COVID-19 has brought to light how destructive environmental degradation has been for both people and planet, and the pandemic has also opened social and economic ruptures.听

What does post-pandemic renewal mean for developing innovation and industrial policies for a climate-resilient, long-term and sustainable economy? Why does ownership -听of land, assets and organisations -听matter for the Green New Deal? How can we ensure businesses and finance rise to the climate crisis challenge?

Chairing the talk is听Rana Foroohar (Financial Times), joined by听Mariana Mazzucato (IIPP Director) and听special guest Mark Carney (UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance).

This talk is funded by the Omidyar Network as part of the 鈥榃ho owns what and why?鈥� IIPP event series. Follow the conversation on听听补迟听
