The house is on fire, as Greta Thunberg said: At the COP27 world climate conference in Egypt, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for the 'next industrial revolution'. In order to still achieve the Paris climate goals, a radical shift in politics and economy is needed. But (how) can profit, economic growth and wealth affiliate with climate protection and sustainable economic activity? How can our economy maintain its international contestability? Can their even exist a such necessary binding framework for a green economy on international level and can it be fair? And how can developing countries succeed in participating equally in the global economy and the fight against climate change?
Sabrina Schulz and Ralf Fücks discuss this in a new episode of our #ThinkForwards podcast. Together with host Ursula Weidenfeld, they talk about what signals are needed from politics for a change of direction and how business can actively help shape the change towards a sustainable future.
