About this event

Stan Cox, author of The Green New Deal and Beyond, will join his Ecosphere Studies colleagues Wes Jackson, Aubrey Streit Krug, and Robert Jensen in a discussion of the need for climate policies that go far beyond new technology, carbon taxes, and other market-based approaches.

The speakers will explore, as well, the fundamental changes that our society will have to go through in order to adapt to strict ecological boundaries.
