GANE brings together many diverse experts, decision-makers and citizens across the world to synthesise new economics knowledge from science and practice, to drive policy, business and social action.
The world is faced with a series of multiple interacting global crises, from the climate emergency and biodiversity loss to severe inequality and geopolitical crises. This global ‘polycrisis’ poses major systemic risks to human and planetary wellbeing. It has laid bare the cracks in today’s social and economic systems, from the strong relationships that exist between the destruction of nature and infectious diseases like COVID-19, to the severe inequality in terms of suffering the consequences of different crises.
GANE seeks to synthesise between many different transformative ‘new’ economic approaches, from feminist to ecological economics, from doughnut economics to degrowth, from post-Keynesian economics to Buen Vivir and Ubuntu. By identifying common principles and solutions, the transformative potential of these approaches can be strengthened, and common ground found for economic transformation.
