Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Future Economics
Sustainable Future Economics attempts to raise awareness about already existing innovative economic models that can help us build a sustainable and equitable future. Our project provides accessible and simplified information about three economic models: Circular economy, Doughnut economics, and Degrowth. We understand that linear economy is prepared to tackle 21st challenges and hope that by informing the public about alternative models, we can inspire economic transformation
