ECONOMIC SUMMIT PRESENTS…

Opening Keynote Presentation – Doughnut Economics: From a Radical Idea into Transformative Action

Join us at the 2021 ‘State of the Island’ Economic Summit to hear from Carlota Sanz, Co-founder of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL). Carlota will present the vision of Doughnut Economics and how it’s being turned into transformative action to create ecologically safe and socially just cities and places around the world.

Doughnut Economics proposes an economic mindset that’s fit for the 21st century context and challenges. It’s not a set of policies and institutions, but rather a way of thinking that brings about the regenerative and distributive dynamics that this century calls for. Doughnut Economics draws on insights from diverse schools of economic thought – including ecological, feminist, institutional, behavioural and complexity economics.

The Indigenous Economy

Island First Nations are expanding economic activities in traditional and non-traditional industries. They are becoming lead economic players, driving wealth creation and employment for their members while contributing to the economic vitality of local communities. Leaders from three First Nation development corporations – Huu-ay-ahtSnuneymuxw, and Malahat – will share stories of where they are headed, what’s working, and what’s needed for business success and economic vitality.

Join Trever CootesIan Simpson and Angela van den Hout for this important conversation at the hybrid ‘State of the Island’ Economic Summit taking place October 27th & 28th at the Vancouver Island Convention Centre and online.

Thanks to Island Coastal Economic Trust for sponsoring this session.
